ECE Workshop: Social-Emotional & Behaviour Guidance
Guidance Strategies for Preschools
This workshop focuses on strategies and approaches that highlight positive prevention and intervention strategies when guiding children’s behaviour. We will reflect on the educators’ role in assisting children with their emotional, social and cognitive growth and development as well as looking at how the physical environment in early years impacts children’s behaviour.

The Reasons Why
- Children need adults to teach, guide and support them as they grow and learn
- Educators play an important role in guiding children’s behaviour in positive, supportive and age-appropriate ways
- This may vary from child to child depending on the child’s age, developmental level, abilities and needs
- Positive and supportive guidance helps children as they learn self-regulation and find appropriate ways to express their needs, wants, feelings and ideas
- Guiding children’s behaviours is an ongoing process
- It is very important for educators to be knowledgeable about how social and physical environments in early years settings can have a major effect on behaviour
