This course explores how to use a relationship-based care approach to understand and respond to child behaviors that providers find challenging. Participants learn to respond to children’s behavior by deeply reflecting upon their own reactions to children’s behavior, regulating their emotional reactions, and engaging families to mutually understand the reasons for their children’s behavior.
