Creating Environments of Respect: Seeing Children as Capable and Competent
When we view children as capable and competent, even moments of challenge become opportunities for connection and growth. This training helps educators reframe “challenging behaviors” as communication, exploring how the environment, relationships, and adult responses shape children’s actions. Through hands-on reflection and practical strategies, participants will learn to create spaces that honor children’s voices, build emotional safety, and support self-regulation for both teachers and children. Leave inspired to see behavior not as defiance, but as dialogue - and to foster classrooms rooted in respect, empathy, and understanding.
