Anger and Aggression in Young Children-Course Description
Everyone gets angry. All early education professionals have had or will have experiences with angry and aggressive behaviors as well as children who just act aggressively toward others. These behaviors are a concern because handling the situation often involves more than one child. Have you had children with aggressive behaviors in your classroom or program? How do you handle these types of situations? Which behaviors do you consider to be unacceptable and aggressive? Attend this learning event to define the myths and facts about childhood violence, help children describe physiological changes caused by stress in their bodies, summarize the levels of agitation, state possible reasons for angry and aggressive behaviors, and lastly, create strategies and solutions for coping with angry and aggressive behaviors.
Participants attending this event are required to attend online for a required amount of time, read handouts, watch video clips, answer a minimum number of interactive online questions, and pass a post knowledge assessment with a minimum score of 90% or higher (multiple attempts allowed).
Registration always open!
A bit about Karen Darby Karen is originally from a small town in northern West Virginia, she has 1 sister who currently lives in Orlando, Florida. Karen lives in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, which is in Cleveland County. Karen had a very small, private wedding ceremony on 2-22-2022, it was a Tuesday! She kept the name Karen Darby, for professional purposes. Karen has no children of her own but enjoys spending time with her husband's grown children and grandchildren. Karen's hobbies include anything outdoors, but at the top of her list are: swimming, walking hiking, biking, flower gardening, painting, and she is willing to try anything outdoors at least once. She is however, afraid of heights. In her spare time, Karen teaches an adult swimming class for the City of Shelby, she is a certified Aqua Fitness Instructor and certified Lifeguard and certified as a CPR/First Aid/AED instructor. Karen finds that she volunteers in the community and senior center on a frequent basis, but she loves to spend time with her dog! An on-going goal of Karen's is to become published author (of more than just an article or blogpost) and to continue to offer the continuing education courses at SWCDC at the highest level of standard possible.
