Friends, we’ve all been there. You dedicate yourself to creating a wonderful, engaging environment for your littles; then suddenly — bam — out of nowhere you are hit with some really challenging behaviors from one of your students. And challenging behaviors do just that; they CHALLENGE us. Sometimes we know just what to do. Other times, well…
We could all use a little help.
And who doesn't need a little bit of help, distance learning, or when we return to the classroom?
I sat down this week to discuss strategies and glean some wisdom from Barb O’Neil Ed.D, the expert behind www.transformchallengingbehaviors.com.
- How can we PREVENT these behaviors before they even start?
- How can we better implement the tools we already have?
- The things we all do that SUPER COMMON are actually mistakes (My personal favorite tip)

- Barb is the creator of a FREE week-long conference, May 6-12, 2020, Transform Challenging Behavior Online Conference, on how to transform challenging behaviors, a program with a diverse group of educators -- including yours truly -- coming on to share their wisdom every day. It’s like an educational Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story; you can listen to all of them or just the ones that resonate with you.
