At KIT, we are always asked how to support children's behavior. Since every child and situation is different, there isn't one simple answer. Join KIT staff as we discuss the lessons we've learned about how to support behavior. In this session, we'll discuss the process of learning the "why" behind the behavior.

The Tween (9-12) and Teen (13-18) years can be a stressful time in life. It’s the perfect time for parents, teachers, and involved adults to teach tweens and teens problem-solving skills, how to regulate emotions, and positive coping mechanisms. Learning and applying these skills are necessary for teens to become responsible and productive adults in the community. Tweens and teens who don’t learn how to cope with stress find destructive ways to deal with issues in their lives, such as eating disorders, self-inflicted injuries, teen violence, drinking and drug use, sex and other risky behaviors. Join us to learn how you can help tweens and teens learn coping skills in your program. Please note that in order to receive a certificate, you will need to watch and view the resources, engage with the materials (click), pass the quiz, and complete the survey. Read more

Sometimes we don't get the opportunity to get outside as much as we would like, while some children may not perform well if they don't "get extra energy out" throughout their day.
