A preventative approach to challenging behavior relies on positive guidance to teach children the skills they need to successfully navigate the world. In this webinar, we discussed why positive guidance is critical for all child and youth programs and examined leadership’s role in setting the stage for these practices. We focused on how program leaders can help establish and maintain a commitment to universal supports, such as an effective workforce, nurturing and responsive relationships, and high-quality, supportive environments, all of which provide the foundation for positive guidance to thrive in child and youth programs.
