This training will offer teachers a framework for understanding children’s behavior and how adults can support all children in a diverse classroom. We will learn about different temperament types and identify the strengths and challenges of each different temperament. Participants will learn practical strategies for observing temperament, adapting environments, and responding to challenging behaviors in ways that honor each child’s individual differences. We will also reflect on how our own temperament impacts our approach and discuss strategies for increasing the goodness of fit in our relationships.

Challenging behavior can be extremely frustrating, especially when our usual tricks aren’t working. In this training, we will peek into the brains of children whose behavior adults find challenging and discover how their nervous systems may be driving their behavior. Then, through this new lens, we will explore brain-based approaches to prevent and address challenging behavior. We will also consider how our own nervous systems might be working against us during these moments and discuss ways to keep ourselves regulated in order to respond more helpfully to challenging behaviors.
