Brief Description: "Early childhood teachers identify challenging behaviors as one of the most difficult aspects of their jobs and one for which they feel the least prepared. This is reflected by the fact that program directors or elementary school administrators report that many early childhood teachers lack the skills necessary to address challenging behaviors. Teachers can prevent many challenging behaviors from occurring by developing effective classroom rules."
