WOA PROVIDER TRAINING: Building Better Behavior: One Feeling at a Time

The Washington County Kids Out-of-School-Time Alliance is pleased to offer a new training opportunity for afterschool and summer providers.

Building Better Behavior: One Feeling at a Time
Do you ever ask yourself: “Why did I do that”? It’s a common thought for everyone and especially our young people.
This course will dive into why we do the things we do, the feelings that push out our behaviors and how knowing more about emotion literacy and secure attachment puts us back in the driver’s seat on making the best decisions. It’s all about helping our young people learn how to better manage their emotions in the moment.

What you can do to get ready for the course:

• Please come prepared with some specific challenging behaviors that you have witnessed in the children that you support.
• Please also come prepared to share “what are you doing now” in response to those behaviors.
