Raising Good Kids: Managing Behaviour and Emotions in Early Childhood Care and Education Settings

Early Childhood Professional Development and Training Course

One of the biggest challenges faced by those working in early childhood care and education services is managing the behaviour and emotions of young children.

  • “How do I respond to a toddler’s emotional meltdowns?”
  • “What’s the best way to help young children who struggle with separation anxiety?”
  • “What is the best way for me to discipline a child who is not my own, yet is in my care?”

If you would like to update your skills and gain greater confidence in managing young children’s behaviour and emotions, Raising Good Kids is for you.

This online early childhood professional development course series has been developed specifically for childcare and education professionals. Available to students, professionals, centres and larger organisations, the course content also links with the National Quality Standards, the EYLF and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. It has also been mapped to both the Certicate III and Diploma early childhood qualifications.

Based on research, but filled with practical examples and advice, these video-based courses are presented by trusted Child Psychiatrist Dr Kaylene Henderson.

As you will discover, having a consistent, research-based approach to assisting with emotions and guiding behaviour benefits children and professionals alike.

This course series is great; it truly is! The practical examples are so very relevant. There isn’t a single early years child care practitioner that couldn’t relate to these. I love the approaches taught to manage children’s behaviour too. These will make a big difference for the practitioners who get to complete this course.

The Raising Good Kids Online Courses were so easy to navigate through. The modules we completed left us feeling confident and armed with so many more strategies on how to deal with different behaviours and emotions that babies and young children experience. There were lots of practical examples discussed in the courses and the strategies we learned were really easy and practical to implement. The course content covered areas of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). In fact, the courses and framework complement each other well which is great as I know that my staff are on the right track.

After reviewing the price it ended up being a lot more cost effective than most courses, especially since it was online and it was flexible so we could do bits and pieces and finish it in our own time but still get the same information without committing a whole weekend.

I wholeheartedly recommend participating and completing these modules as the information from Dr. Kaylene Henderson has been invaluable.

Under the Long Day Care Professional Development Program supported by the Australian Government, C&K has been working with Dr Kaylene Henderson in the provision of online Behavioural Guidance training – ‘Raising Good Kids’: Managing Behaviour and Emotions in 0-5’s’.

As an outcome of the learning development plans for all C&K Long Day Care services, it was identified that behaviour guidance techniques was an area of improvement.

This online development with Dr Kaylene Henderson was chosen as it was so relatable for our educators, having been developed specifically for childcare and education professionals.  The course content linked with the National Quality Standards, the EYLF, and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.

In addition, the materials were based on solid research, catered for a variety of learning styles, and provided flexible learning opportunities for our more remote based educators. The ongoing support in being able to access the materials even though they may have finished the training has been extremely valuable. This training has helped our educators to cement key learnings around behavioural guidance and embed these in their everyday practice.

All informal feedback to date has been extremely positive. As a result of this training, our educators are more equipped with the knowledge and practical examples in behaviour guidance.  The success of this initial roll out to C&K Long Day Care Services has since instigated the roll out of this online training to all C&K Kindergartens in 2016.
