SUMMARY:FLIP IT:  Transforming Challenging Behavior in Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in finding a way to stay calm\, be consistent and support children (ages 3-8) when they are challenging you? FLIP IT® is a strategy that offers a simple\, kind\, and commonsense process to address children’s challenging behavior. The FLIP IT strategy offers a simple\, kind\, strength-based\, commonsense and effective four-step process for day-to-day challenges and challenging moments with children.  This training teaches participants the four supportive steps of FLIP IT that are designed to help young children (ages 3-8) learn about their feelings\, gain self-control\, and reduce challenging behavior. FLIP IT is nothing new\, but turns what works into a strategy that is easy to remember and easy to use in real-life challenging situations.  \nThe purpose of this training is to enhance our understanding of the factors that contribute to children’s use of challenging behavior\, review this evidence-based and practical strategy for reducing instances of challenging behavior and introduce a variety of learning tools to teach and support the FLIP IT strategy. \nThis in-person class is taught by certified FLIP IT trainers Allie Bishop and Urvasi Graham.   \nSTARS Hours: 6
