Snapshot episode:

Prerna Richards, early childhood education consultant and parenting expert, helps educators and parents/carers understand children's challenging behaviour and support their development of new skills in order to change behaviour. Prerna shares with us some 'aha' moments through real life examples and offers practical solutions to try in supporting behaviour. The main takeaway from this episode is that you can't use shame or punishment to change children's behaviour, to change behaviour you need to teach a skill. Essentially, replacing an unhealthy or challenging behaviour with a learnt skill...but how do we do this?
