Every child’s journey involves moments of growth and challenge, and problem behaviours can be a sign of underlying needs or developmental stages. These behaviours often arise when a child is seeking attention, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to communicate their emotions effectively.
At Treetops ELC, we view problem behaviours not as obstacles but as opportunities to teach important life skills. Through a combination of consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and collaborative strategies between educators and families, we help children navigate these moments, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence. In this blog, we discuss practical ways to address and support children through these behaviours, ensuring a positive learning environment for all.
