Peace Out Power Struggles: Tips for Positive Behavior

You ask children to clean up, come to circle, wash their hands, or put on shoes and somehow every simple request turns into a battle.
Power struggles can leave you feeling frustrated and exhausted, but many of these moments are rooted in children's growing need for independence, autonomy, and control.  
In this self-paced video training, taught by a speech language pathologist, you’ll learn:
  1. How to give children developmentally appropriate power throughout the day
  2. Simple strategies you can use the very next day with your class to prevent a power struggle before it starts
  3. Practical strategies for responding in the moment to deescalate a power struggle
Spend less time stuck in daily battles and more time teaching skills, connecting, and helping children succeed.

I loved the suggestions she gave to incorporate in my daily classroom learning space."
