2024 Early Childhood Conference

One of the biggest dilemmas that educators face in the classroom is how to address challenging behaviors in students. Challenging behaviors can disrupt classroom instruction, distract other learners and can be highly anxiety-inducing for all learners in the classroom. In this session, learners will acquire practical strategies to proactively manage challenging behaviors in students, thereby promoting a more conducive learning environment. We aim to prevent disruptions to classroom instruction and reduce anxiety among all learners. This approach not only helps educators understand and apply Kimochis effectively but also provides practical tools to address challenging behaviors before they escalate, promoting a more positive and supportive classroom environment.

Ensuring the successful implementation of Kimochis hinges on bridging the home and school connection. While it may not be realistic to expect families to fully adopt the Kimochis vocabulary at home, learners can enhance their understanding of Kimochis and facilitate manageable practices that can be applied at home. The interactive presentation session will be focused on providing more “do-able doses” of Kimochis when at home.
