This training will focus on the critical connection between adult well-being and its impact on the capacity to support young children with behavior concerns. Participants will explore behaviors associated with adult resilience and learn simple strategies for promoting their own resilience and social-emotional health. With this adult resilience mindset in place, participants will then learn how to use the FLIP IT strategy, a four-step process for addressing behavior concerns for young children (3-8 years old). The four steps are embodied in the FLIP mnemonic, which stands for Feelings, Limits, Inquiries, and Prompts. The FLIP IT strategy can help reduce behavior concerns while also supporting young children’s social-emotional development.

This is a two-part training.  Participants must be in both training - June 23 and June 30. 

OBJECTIVES:

1. Participants will be able to identify behaviors that are reflective of four protective factors (Healthy Relationships; Positive Internal Beliefs; Initiative: and Self Control) and reflect on the presence of these behaviors in their own lives. 

2. Participants will be able to identify the 4 FLIP IT Steps (Feelings, Limits, Inquires, Prompts) and discover how they work together to promote self-regulation, healthy relationships, problem-solving and transforming challenging behaviors.

3. Participants will develop a simple plan to ensure that information shared in the session is put into action immediately.

Note: This training is virtual. Participants will receive a Zoom link in the days before the training. Please watch your email to get the Zoom link. Participants must remain logged into the virtual training with their camera on for the entire duration of the training. Failure to do so may mean that a training certificate might not be issued. Active participation is expected.
Training hours earned during this will count toward the 2025-26 Training Incentive Program (TIP).
