    Description
    This course provides an overview of the developmental, environmental and cultural factors that impact the behavior of young children (family stressors, child temperament, violence, attachment disorders and other exceptional needs) and proactive, reactive and prevention intervention techniques. Topics include performing ethical and objective observations, creating positive environments that encourage appropriate behavior, and addressing why children demonstrate challenging behaviors (including those that are aggressive, anti-social, disruptive, destructive, emotional and dependent).
