Positive Behaviors

Positive behaviors are social, emotional, and communicative skills and behaviors used by children that enable them to engage in and navigate their learning and social environments. These include skills to regulate their emotions, solve problems, and develop and sustain relationships. Providing intentional instruction on how to use positive behaviors is a critical part of preventing challenging behavior and supporting children who engage in challenging behaviors. 

These resources help education staff learn about and use evidence-based strategies and supports to help children learn positive behaviors.
