Giving the Gifts: Building Healthy Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence for Life!

Have you been concerned about children you care for who:

• Struggle to do a task and then simply give up or whine for help?
• Exhibit needy and demanding behavior, needing constant validation and attention?
• Act helpless when asked to complete a task?
• Is unkind and inconsiderate to others?
• Refuse to help or complete self-care tasks on their own?

I was surprised to learn one major reason for these behaviors is related to the well-meaning self-esteem movement! Join us to learn more about this critical topic.

During this special 4-hour session, you will

• Gain an understanding of one major reason these behaviors are occurring and what you can do to ensure positive outcomes for all
• Collect strategies to reduce whining and needy behavior and promote kind and thoughtful behavior
• Explore methods to build problem-solving skills and a confident  "can do" attitude in children of all ages, especially when children struggle to complete a task
• Learn helpful ways to increase responsibility and gain cooperation with cleanup and incorporate other helpful "jobs" for children in early childhood settings
• Identify methods to promote a trusting and responsive relationship that will reduce challenging behaviors and send the children you care for on the road to success, today in your care and into adulthood!
• Receive quality early childhood training hours - All participants who fully complete the course will receive a training hours certificate for 2-training hours for each webinar

You gain 4 training hours!

To receive your training hours for this course, you must fully participate (you may not miss more than 15 minutes of the webinar) and complete a brief survey.

100% Approved for both MN and NY for 4-training hours.

Build the type of self-assurance that leaves kids confident as well as kind, empowered, and open to take on challenges. You will promote positive behavior, reduce challenging behaviors, and ensure positive outcomes for all children!
