Challenging behaviour – toddlers and young children

Young children experience a range of emotions and express themselves in various ways. It's normal for toddlers to have tantrums and test boundaries as they develop social and emotional skills.

This resource provides essential information for caregivers on how to support children in managing their emotions.

Topics covered include:

  • Signs and Symptoms of Challenging Behaviour
  • Causes of Challenging Behaviour
  • Strategies for Managing Difficult Situations
  • Positive Reinforcement Techniques
  • Understanding the Consequences of Negative Behaviour

By guiding your child and encouraging positive behaviours, you can help them learn appropriate ways to express themselves and navigate their emotions effectively.
