Free ECE Webinar: Tools to Replace Praise, Rewards & Punishment

This webinar, hosted by Early Learning Investigations, will bridge information from brain science with experiences in real-life ECE classrooms. 

Webinar hosts will explore how co-regulation, awareness, and intention can replace outdated behavior management systems like sticker charts, prize boxes, and empty praise.

Participants will learn how to shift from control to connection, and will leave with practical tools that can be implemented immediately, including…

• recognizing the impact of praise, rewards, and punishment on children’s emotional regulation and inclusion.
• applying brain-based strategies such as Positive Descriptive Acknowledgment (PDA) and co-regulation techniques to real-life classroom scenarios.
• comparing and contrasting control-based vs. connection-based approaches to behavior support.
• reflecting on personal beliefs about behavior, discipline, and support—and how these beliefs influence day-to-day interactions with children.
• developing a personal plan to replace outdated tools with responsive strategies, co-regulation practices, and intentional language shifts.
