Do You See What I See? Behaviour Management Guidebook: Point of Focus: Self-Regulation

I'd like to take this opportunity to share my training with you: the parents, the caregivers, the educators, and anyone curious about how to help navigate tantrums, meltdowns, and/or aggressive behaviours. In this guidebook, I provide tips, advice, suggestions, links, visuals, examples, and methods through my observations, the training I've received, and the resources I have accessed over the past seventeen years. Give yourselves and your child(ren) grace as you navigate through what works for yourself, your child(ren), and your family.

I am a Child & Youth Worker (CYW) and have been since 2006. I graduated from the diploma program at George Brown College with honours. In the classroom, I teach Behaviour Management through Life Skills & Social Skills programming. I create individual goals, as well as classroom goals to facilitate classroom management. This assessment helps me to aid the students with self-awareness and self-regulation practices when triggered. Being in a position to have worked in a home-based setting provides me with insight into the role of guardian and the many diverse backgrounds of the students I meet.
