Preventing Challenging Behavior Resources
Often, difficult behaviors can be avoided by using "general strategies for encouragement," such as providing loving and understanding relationships and high-quality supportive environments. Additionally, teaching children specific social and emotional skills can help them to better manage their emotions, form relationships, and come up with solutions to problems.
