We teach you how to manage behaviour issues

Early years educators are often first to identify a young person’s behavioural and emotional support needs. They are integral in supporting parents to understand and address them.

We teach you how to build children’s capacity to respond to everyday challenges and unexpected events by developing their capacity to understand, self-regulate and manage their emotions in ways that reflect the feelings and needs of others.

Research shows that young people who can control their impulses do better in academic and social situations. School staff and parents can easily learn to coach them in this.

Our theoretical approach

Our program reflects the principals and practices of early years educators, by supporting the following learning outcomes in the National Quality Framework.

Children have a strong sense of identity

• Children feel safe, secure and supported
• Children develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence, resilience and sense of agency
• Children develop knowledgeable and confident self-identities
• Children learn to interact in relation to others with care, empathy and respect

 Children have a strong sense of wellbeing

• Children become strong in their social and emotional wellbeing
• Children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical wellbeing
