Prerna Richards is an early childhood education consultant who helps educators and parents/carers to understand children's behaviour and support their development of new skills required to change challenging behaviour. Prerna shares with us some 'aha' moments through real life examples of children, educators and parents, and offers practical solutions to try. 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?
