FLIP IT One-Day Training

This live, one-day training teaches participants the four supportive steps of FLIP IT that are designed to help young children (ages 3-8) learn about their feelings, gain self-control, and reduce challenging behavior. The four steps are embodied in the FLIP mnemonic: F – Feelings, L – Limits, I – Inquiries, P – Prompts. This strategy is nothing new, but transforms best practice into something that is easy to remember, applicable in a variety of challenging situations, and portable. This training is designed for teachers and parents who are looking for best practices on reducing challenging behavior in young children.

FLIP IT Train-the-Trainer

This live, two-day train-the-trainer session offers time to experience the One-Day FLIP IT Training and become competent in teaching FLIP IT to others. Participants will leave this train-the-trainer session with the One-Day FLIP IT Training PowerPoint (or use for five, 1.5 hour workshops) and trainer notes, a variety of resources to help support the use of FLIP IT in the classroom and by families, and the confidence to provide workshops and technical assistance on the information.
