Free Webinar: Strategies to Reduce Toddler Aggression & Promote Regulation

Despite the best efforts of early childhood educators, some toddlers naturally hit, bite, and otherwise display aggressive behaviors. These common behaviors challenge caregivers and parents and are among the biggest stressors they encounter. 

To help, Early Learning Investigations will be hosting a webinar with toddler expert, Raelene Ostberg, M.Ed., Director of Thriving Together and author of the Taming Those Terrific Toddlers Webinar Series. Throughout this session, participants will gain an understanding of the hidden fuel that sparks these fires in early childhood settings.

During this presentation, participants will… 

• Identify the hidden triggers that can fuel hitting, biting, kicking, and other unwanted behavior in group settings. 
• Gain an understanding of the difference between an unhelpful and instinctual “power” approach and the contrasting “influential” response to transform these tense moments.
• Explore a four-step process and real-life coaching techniques you can use the moment an aggressive act occurs to help toddlers build critical self-control skills, cope with strong feelings, and learn appropriate actions they can use when toddlers experience aggressive impulses in the future.
• Analyze videos of adults responding to unwanted behaviors in group settings to pinpoint helpful adult strategies.

Walk away with proven methods to use during stressful moments and learn how to teach toddlers the self-regulation skills to diminish destructive behaviors and promote calm in your early childhood environment.
