Positive Solutions for Families is an evidence-based training for promoting early childhood learners’ approaches to learning, social and emotional competence, language and communication, cognition, and perceptual, motor, and physical development. Behavior Has Meaning is the cornerstone of emotional and behavioral self-regulation, positive parent and child interactions, and family relationships. It includes successfully observing and defining the functions of behaviors, the context in which they occur, and the psychological and/or physiological needs the child is attempting to achieve. Throughout this course, participants will acquire parent engagement skills, response strategies for supporting parents and families with recognizing, preventing, and responding to challenging behaviors, and techniques for fostering practical child and caregiver bonds and secure attachments.
