SUMMARY:Brain Architect
DESCRIPTION:How can you support a child that exhibits challenging behavior? You strengthen their brain architecture. A weak brain architecture makes it difficult for a child to learn or master skills\, problem-solving\, self-regulation\, empathy\, etc.…\, that will allow them to be successful in our society. Every day you have the opportunity to build and add to a child’s brain architecture. In this training participants will explore practices that will strengthen brain architecture and consider how these practices can prevent or eliminate a child’s use of challenging behavior to express themselves. \nTarget Audience: All early childhood professionals \nTuesday\, April 22\, 2025 @ 6:00 pm- 8:00 pm (In person training session)                     \nRegistration form and fee must be received by Tuesday April 15\, 2025  \nDown East Partnership for Children/Auditorium \n215 Lexington Street Rocky Mount NC \n(Capacity limited to 20) \n2 contact hours |Cost $5.00 per person \nTrainer: Shaquana Bynum\, Regional Social Behavioral Coach  \n
