Behavioral Support Training For Caregivers

Do you ever feel tired or overwhelmed?

Are these questions echoing in your mind?

How do I get my children to listen to me?
I’ve tried everything…why won’t this behavior stop?

If you’re nodding along, you are not alone. A solution exists to reclaim your home’s harmony and help you find joy again as a caregiver.

Unlock the Power of Positive Behavior Support Strategies (PBSS)

Backed by the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), PBSS is your key to unlocking a calmer, more productive, and joy-filled home. We understand that every home is unique, which is why PBSS isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it’s a flexible framework that equips you with the tools and strategies to address the specific challenges you face.

Imagine a home where…

Children are eager to listen and cooperate.
Unwanted behavior is quickly and calmly addressed.
Positive interactions and cooperation flourish.

How PBSS Works

PBSS shifts the focus from reacting to unwanted behavior to proactively teaching children the skills they need to be successful at home and in the community. By understanding the reasons behind challenging behaviors and implementing targeted interventions, you can create a home environment where children feel supported and empowered to succeed.

With PBSS, you’ll learn how to:

Build a positive home culture: Foster strong relationships and establish clear expectations.
Understand the root causes of behavior: Learn to recognize the triggers and underlying factors that contribute to challenging behaviors.
Teach replacement behaviors: Empower children with the social-emotional skills they need to communicate effectively, manage their emotions, and resolve conflicts peacefully.
Use positive reinforcement strategically:Increase desired behaviors and create a more positive home environment.

Behavioral Support Training

It's something we all use every day, often without even realizing it. Our comprehensive course will take your innate understanding of reinforcement to the next level, empowering you with the knowledge and skills to intentionally and effectively shape positive behavior in your children. This course will empower you to harness the transformative power of positive reinforcement. You'll learn to identify opportunities for reinforcement in everyday interactions, skillfully apply a variety of techniques tailored to individual children and track your progress to ensure your strategies are yielding optimal results. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create a home environment where positive behavior flourishes and everyone thrives.

Use Reinforcement Strategies to Transform Your Home:

Elevate Everyday Moments with Positive Reinforcement: Catch your children in acts of kindness, cooperation, or focus, and reinforce those behaviors. Watch as sharing, turn-taking, and other positive interactions flourish!
Smooth Sailing through Transitions: Are transitions to bedtime or other activities a constant struggle? Learn to sprinkle reinforcement throughout these challenging routines, turning them into opportunities for success and cooperation.
Boost Student Engagement and Compliance: Increase children participation, focus, and willingness to follow instructions by strategically using reinforcement.

Empower Children with Choices Giving children choices isn't just about making them happy – it's a powerful strategy to foster positive behavior, increase engagement, and create a more peaceful home environment. When children feel a sense of control over their activities and routines, they're more likely to cooperate, participate, and stay on task.

In our course, you'll discover how to effectively utilize choices to:

Diffuse Challenging Situations: Turn potential conflicts into opportunities for cooperation by offering alternative choices. When faced with disputes over toys or activities, present children with a selection of other engaging options, empowering them to find a solution that works for everyone.
Redirect Unwanted Behavior: Gently steer disruptive behavior in a positive direction by providing choices for appropriate alternatives.
Extend Learning and Engagement: Keep the momentum going by offering choices that complement existing activities. If children are engrossed in building blocks, suggest adding toy animals or vehicles to their creations to spark new ideas and extend their play.

Master the Art of Effective Instruction Delivery Do you ever feel like your instructions are being completely ignored? Giving instructions doesn't guarantee that children will follow through. In this course, you'll discover the secrets to crafting and delivering instructions that not only capture your children’s attention but also motivate them to take action.

Unlock the Power of Instructions:

Break Down Tasks for Success: Transform overwhelming tasks into achievable steps. By breaking down complex activities, like self-care routines or multi-step projects, into smaller, more manageable chunks, you'll set your children up for success and boost their confidence.
Navigate Challenging Activities with Ease: Support children through less preferred tasks, like cleaning up or completing challenging activities, by providing clear, concise instructions and offering encouragement along the way.
Increase Compliance Without Raising Your Voice: Discover positive and effective strategies to gain cooperation and ensure your instructions are heard and followed. No more yelling or repeating yourself!

Redirect, Reconnect, and Restore Harmony
The home is a busy environment full of energy and potential distractions. When a child veers off task, it can quickly disrupt the entire home environment. Our course empowers you with proactive strategies to redirect off-task or disruptive behavior, fostering a calm and focused home.

Intervene Early and Often: Recognize the subtle signs of disengagement and intervene before minor distractions escalate.
