children (ages 3-8) learn about their feelings, gain self-control and
reduce challenging behavior. This online course helps learners delve

day-to-day challenges and challenging behaviors from children. . This
on-line learning course has a running time of 2.5 hours. Upon
completion of the course, 0.5 CEUs are offered (5 hours) factoring in
time for the interactive pieces, reflection, application of the skill,
