Here is a question I get all the time from my listeners: "Help, my kids are out of control! What can I do?"

Now, this is something every early childhood teacher has had to deal with in their career.

It's no secret that young children are not all angels. It's normal, they're kids, and they don't have as much impulse control as we do.

Plus, they're at that age when they're starting to feel like their own person and want to express themselves.

So, how do you make them behave in the classroom?

Well, what if teaching kids to behave wasn't about controlling their behavior, but instead about teaching them the skills they need to express their feelings and emotions?

And do you truly need behavior charts or are they obsolete?

This is exactly what I discuss in today's episode of Elevating Early Childhood, so, if this sounds like your cup of tea (and I know it does), tune in now!
