Talk Less Listen More™
Up to 7 hours NESA accreditation for Early Years Educators at Proficient Teacher level
Behaviour guidance professional development to effectively teach self-regulation and manage difficult behaviour
Delivery available as an in-house course at your workplace or – coming soon, Online Training Course
Overview
The easy to use behaviour guidance techniques can be taught to all staff, resulting in a consistent approach to help children develop more self-control and to respond with more flexibility to frustration and upsetting events.
The program draws from attachment theory (how relationships can influence behaviour) and social- learning theory (how children can be taught by those around them about how to self-regulate).
Talk Less Listen More™ methods-based learning is simple, effective and easy to apply in an early years setting.

What early years educators are saying…
This program aligns perfectly with the Early Years Learning Frameworks ethos and principles and fits in with the National Quality Standards for childcare in Australia. This is a valuable program that assists children to develop their skills and sense of well-being. DIRECTOR, KIDS COLLEGE, PERTH
“Very thorough presentation. Presenter was very knowledgeable and I was given so many valuable tools to use both personally and professionally. Highly recommend.”
DALTON DRIVE EARLY LEARNING
“This course was informative and got me thinking about how children’s emotions are different from adults and how I can help them in dealing with these emotions in an effective way. It was great learning that we were on the right track. The program let us know what we were doing right and informed us on how to take it further. “
