All young children engage in behaviors that can be problematic at one time or another. Teachers and parents report that managing children’s behavior is one of the hardest things they do. Facilitating children’s social emotional development can result in the prevention of challenging behaviors. Implementing strategies in the context of naturally occurring routines and environments can make life easier for children and adults alike. In this seminar I will share research-based strategies that have proven effective in supporting young children’s social emotional competence and preventing challenging behavior.
兒童的行為問題（如搶玩具、打人和哭鬧等行為）時常造成難以收拾的局面，這也是家長和教師每天須面對的挑戰。如果在日常生活環境中，能運用有效的實務策略，可促進兒童的社交情緒發展，並有效預防行為問題的發生，家長、教師和小朋友的生活能更輕鬆融洽。美國的Ostrosky教授遠道而來，將與大家分享經由實證研究發現的有效預防與因應策略。
