Understanding Children’s Behaviour with Nikkol Adams

This presentation focuses on becoming curious about children’s behaviors. Nikkol discusses the meaning behind a child’s behavior in order to better understand how to support and redirect their behavior. Together you will  explore brain development, the autonomic nervous system, temperament,  possible goals of behavior, and strategies for supporting and redirecting behavior which include connection versus correction, discipline and boundary setting, and co-regulation. This presentation is designed for individuals  working with children between the ages of 3 to 12 years old in diverse settings who are wanting to gain insight and knowledge towards supporting  children’s development.
