Understanding Challenging Behaviors
January 24, 2018
Creativity and the world of the imagination—the beauty of what we see as a child and the kind of play that we experience as a child—can be a way for us to survive tough times.
-Diane Paulus, Broadway theater director

"Throwing is not a challenging behavior. Throwing chairs or blocks, however, is a challenging behavior," writes Michelle Salcedo in the newest Exchange Out of the Box Training, "Classrooms as the Root of Challenging Behaviors." "The same can be said for climbing," she continues. “Climbing is not a challenging behavior; climbing shelves is. The young child is learning how to throw and climb and looks for every opportunity to practice these newfound abilities. Often, we relegate these behaviors to the playground. However, many children need more than 90 minutes a day to exercise those large muscles and practice those developing skills...As teachers, it is our job to find safe opportunities for children to use these burgeoning skills in the [indoor] classroom."
