Explore books and activities that can be used to help redirect children and take the first steps towards dealing with challenging behaviors.

Young children’s behavior can both entertain and challenge us! During this session you will explore books and activities that can be used to help redirect children’s behavior and address topics such as anger, sharing, and friendship. Often, discussing these topics starting with books is the first step to dealing with challenging behaviors, and guiding children toward the behaviors we want!
