Flip IT! FLIP IT is a strategy that offers a simple, kind, strengths-based, commonsense, and effective four-step process to address children’s day-to-day challenging behavior. The four steps are embodied in the FLIP mnemonic which stands for F – Feelings, L – Limits, I – Inquiries, and P – Prompts. FLIP IT is nothing new but transforms best practices into a strategy that is easy to remember, applicable in a variety of challenging situations, and portable. Join us for a 4-hour in-depth training to learn the FLIP IT strategy. Participants will leave with the skills and resources to support young children. (PW #3 Guidance & Behavior Management)
