About this Learning Opportunity
Are you tired of viewing all behaviors as intentional choices made by children (and even some adults)? Dealing with challenging behaviors can be draining, and sometimes it feels like you're being targeted. But here's a fresh perspective: let's explore how anger might be a mask for deeper emotions. In this session, you'll embark on a journey to discover a new way of interpreting, reflecting, and responding to behaviors. Prepare to be challenged as we encourage you to consider that what you hear and see may be a cry for help or understanding. Learn the invaluable skill of listening with compassionate curiosity. It won't be easy, but the rewards are truly worth it! Together, let's unlock the transformative power of empathy and create a more supportive environment for all.
