What to Say and Not Say During Challenging Behaviour

Описание: Sometimes, it’s not what an adult says during a tantrum—but how it’s said—that makes all the difference.

In this video, we explore why attempts to stop a child’s tantrum can sometimes make things worse, and what adults can do instead to support children through big emotions. Grounded in research and real-life classroom and parenting experiences, this video breaks down effective strategies such as positive language and positive reinforcement, as well as common mistakes adults should avoid.

You’ll learn:
Why positive language helps children feel safe, understood, and guided
How positive reinforcement encourages desirable behaviour
Why focusing only on negative behaviour can actually reinforce tantrums
How undermining children’s emotions can impact their emotional development

Practical ways teachers and parents can respond calmly and constructively

Children are not giving adults a hard time—they are having a hard time. With the right guidance, patience, and mindset, children can learn to manage their emotions and grow into appropriate behaviours over time.

This video is helpful for:
✔ Parents of toddlers and young children
✔ Preschool and early childhood educators
✔ Teachers looking for positive behaviour strategies
✔ Anyone supporting children with big emotions
