Using the FLIP IT Strategy to Support Young Children (3-8 years old)
We all want young children to grow up socially and emotionally healthy. We also know that on their journey of learning about their feelings and how to relate to others, young children often behave in ways that challenge us. What effective strategies are out there to help address behavior concerns and support young children’s social-emotional development? Our go-to strategy is FLIP IT.
This training will discuss the FLIP IT strategy, a four-step process for addressing behavior concerns for young children (3-8 years old). The four steps are embodied in the FLIP mnemonic, which stands for Feelings, Limits, Inquiries, and Prompts. The FLIP IT strategy can help reduce behavior concerns while also supporting young children’s social-emotional development. Come and learn how to implement this strategy and its four simple steps for helping young children learn about their feelings, gain self-control, and reduce behavior concerns.
Delivery options include, but are not limited to:
- Live virtual (three-hour session, two 1.5-hour sessions, or other formats)
- Live in person (typically a one-day format)
- Self-paced online course (2.5 hours in length, can be completed in one sitting or over time)
FLIP IT Train-the-Trainer Course
Addressing behavior concerns and supporting social-emotional development in young children are challenging tasks! The adults in children’s lives should feel prepared and equipped with what they need for success. One strategy for success can be the FLIP IT strategy, and this training can help lead to more adults being equipped with it during challenging moments with young children.
The FLIP IT Train-the-Trainer Course is for individuals who provide training or technical assistance to those working directly with young children. This course will teach participants how to train on and support the use of the FLIP IT strategy. Those who graduate from the course will walk away with the content, skills, and resources necessary to deliver a successful FLIP IT training.
Delivery options include:
- Live virtual (six weekly classes)
- Live in person (two days)
FLIP IT as a Self-Regulation Strategy for Adults
It turns out that what works for young children can also work for adults! During challenging moments, grown-ups and children alike benefit from using the FLIP IT strategy, an effective four-step process for addressing challenging moments with young children. It is made up of four steps, embodied in the FLIP mnemonic which stands for Feelings, Limits, Inquiries, and Prompts. These four steps can now be adapted to help resolve conflict with adults.
Delivery options include, but are not limited to:
- Live virtual (e.g., three sessions - one covering using FLIP IT with young children, one on using it with yourself, and one on using it with other adults)
- Live in person (e.g., one-day format)
- Self-paced online course on using FLIP IT for yourself (1 hour in length, can be completed in one sitting or over time)
Our team is more than happy to work with you to decide on the best professional development option for your program. Please also note that we can put together a proposal that includes FLIP IT resources, like the FLIP IT book, the practice picture flip book, and more.
