Managing

Challenging Behaviours

Challenging behaviours is one of the major factors that cause burn out in the classroom. There has been a rise in challenging behaviours in classrooms that stem from communication break down and lack of emotional understanding. Our emotions affect everything that we do, therefore it is paramount to support children in building a strong foundation in emotional literacy for life.

 

One of the ways to manage challenging behaviours is setting a strong foundation of social and emotional understanding. Building effective communication skills, critical thinking, one's ability to problem solve and empathy. 

​

My emotional literacy program has proven success in supporting children, educators and families in building strong social and emotional understanding, positive and effective communication skills, resilience and overall social and emotional wellbeing in the classroom.

Testimonials. From families

Emotional literacy circle time brought immense benefits to my children and our family. Labeling emotions helped both them and us, as parents, recognize what was happening without catastrophizing age-appropriate reactions. I knew it was effective when my four-year-old asked me one morning, “Mum, are you feeling frustrated?”

 

Now, with older children, I see they eventually learn to read, write, and wear a jumper when it’s cold. Meeting and supporting their emotional needs, however, remains the greater challenge. Starting early with initiatives like emotional literacy circle time is key.
