Positive Behaviour, Positive Children - 3 July 2019, 9.30am - 12.30pm, Warwick

Cost - £45

This is an invaluable short course for anyone working with children in settings for under fives. 

The course promotes new approaches to managing behaviour that have been tested in numerous projects across the UK and has had an overwhelmingly positive benefit on the wellbeing of the children, as well as the wellbeing of the staff. It teaches a common-sense approach with useful tips that every learner can directly employ themselves the next time they work with children.

How many times have learners been on a course and thought, “that’s all very well but it wouldn’t work with our children”? This course only teaches methods that actually work in a front line situation. Simple methods that can really work and a tutor that has actually experienced the behaviour described, make this course an essential introduction to positive behaviour.

Course Aims

• To promote positive behaviour for children under five
• To highlight a series of practical solutions for dealing with negative behaviour
• To illustrate how to use positive behaviour techniques to extend and improve play
• To inspire learners to spend less time on maintaining behaviour and more on having fun.

This course meets the following:

• EYFS areas of learning and development – Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language
• Characteristics of Effective Learning – Playing and Exploring, Active Learning, Creating and Thinking Critically
• Play Types – NA
