Thank you for some amazing tips. This has really made me question the way I approach dealing with the children I educate and has allowed me to look at the behaviours they exhibit in a completely different light.

This course provides a fresh perspective of understanding children's needs to understand and guide behaviour rather than bunch of strategies to redirect behaviour. All based on theory, evidence and science with links to our frameworks makes it easy to relate to and apply in practice. Love the Phoenix Cups framework analogy and relatable stories. Several things to reflect on with educators and teams. Thank you :)
