Behavior support really begins before challenges appear—it’s about building trust and positive connections every day. An expert, Rebecca Mitchell, from the Supported Child Development & Childcare team, shares practical ideas you can try right away: simple tweaks to your routines, one‑on‑one moments that build confidence, and techniques to help children learn to calm themselves.
One of our favorite tips is the “5 to 1 Challenge.” For every corrective moment, look for five opportunities to praise, smile, or offer a quick high‑five. Those extra positive interactions help kids feel safe and valued, preventing small issues from turning into big ones.
