Phoenix Support

I am a highly experience educator who has worked in early childhood for 30 years. This course gave me a clear understanding of how to approach children with challenging behaviours that can be a struggle and helped me make sense of why the approach I have taken over my many years in early childhood have either worked or not worked. I feel all educators need to invest the time in doing this course to help them become better educators as there are too many people using outdated and harmful child behaviour practices. It is definitely worth it and the more people who do it, the better early childhood services can be at providing quality education and care for children.

Learned a lot about children’s behaviour, a lot to think about and implement, doing things a different. Really like the saying you need to know better to do better.

This program is great for educators to learn about different subjects and how to work in different ways to help children and families learn more about the world we live in.

This course was an amazing course to participate in!

Phoenix cups makes sense, it gives a framework to work with in terms of acknowledging the child has a needs profile for social learning the sam as for physical and cognitive learning. These concepts should be added to all early years qualifications to ensure the best outcomes for children.

I have loved the approached this program has brought me Can do was fantastic with her presentation and resources are wonderful.

Always Awesome Guys.

Good ideas and ways to change your connections with children from negative to positive.

As an educator, I now feel more confident in supporting emotional regulation, fostering stronger relationships, and creating a more balanced and empathetic atmosphere. The course is thoughtfully structured, engaging, and backed by research. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve personal or professional relationships through a lens of compassion and self-awareness.

The Educator Toolkit for Behaviour offers a clear, well-structured approach to understanding and supporting children’s behaviour. I appreciated how it integrates evidence-based frameworks like Positive Behaviour Support and the Phoenix Cups, making complex theories accessible and applicable in everyday early childhood settings. The practical strategies, especially around building authentic connections and tailoring responses to individual children’s needs, are very helpful. This toolkit has definitely deepened my understanding of the “why” behind behaviours and provided me with tools to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. It’s a valuable resource for both new and experienced educators aiming to create supportive, inclusive learning environments.

The content of this course frees us from being punitive and shows a way forward to nurture Children's self esteem, well-being and emotional growth....and now to attempt to implement!
