We’ve all been there: A child is beginning to melt down or heat up! What do you do next? Even if a child has a diagnosis or an IEP, sometimes in the heat of the moment your response can escalate the child’s challenging behavior. Children’s behavior can escalate quickly and your feelings about that escalation can erupt just as fast. You can only help a child to de-escalate when you are in control of yourself, have a relationship with the child, and believe in him/her. Attend this webinar to find out how. 

** This event is being offered in collaboration with STAR NET Region VI **
