Infant/Toddler Institute: Helping Children Control Their Behavior

Description

When we observe children’s behavior, our minds automatically begin to make assumptions about the reasons and motives of the child. These assumptions are based on our experiences with children and our own histories. Looking at the behavior through an early childhood mental health lens offers an enhanced view because through this approach, we consider the internal processes in children’s minds that are based on their experiences and own history. In this training, we examine children’s internal working model of relationships formed in their earliest attachments and that functions as the template upon which all interactions with others is based and which guides their behavior.
