CSEFEL Definition of
Challenging Behavior
What we are referring to when we say
“challenging behavior:”
• Any repeated pattern of behavior that interferes
with learning or engagement in pro-social
interactions with peers and adults
• Behaviors that are not responsive to the use of
developmentally appropriate guidance
procedures
![Page 13: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reasons for Challenging Behavior
• Developmental surge
• Medical reasons
• Biological differences
• Social emotional environment
• Discontinuity between care program and home
• Lack of skill in communicating and interacting with others
• A combination of more than one
above
![Page 14: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Behavior Is a Form of
Communication
• What the infant or toddler is experiencing
• What it is like to be in that child’s body
• What it is like to be in that child’s world
![Page 17: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Caregivers and Families
Focusing on the Child
• Makes us more likely to be able to respond with empathy to a young child’s needs
• Helps us be more intentional about problem solving
• Will assist us in restoring the child’s sense of well being
• Will enable the child to spend his emotional energy on development
• Will help us keep our own emotions
in check
![Page 28: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Responding to Distress
• Acknowledge distress
• Offer comfort
•Be attuned (in sync) to child’s individual needs
• Help the baby/toddler achieve the understood
intention
• Be developmentally appropriate
![Page 29: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Behavior
![Page 32: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hypotheses
• What happened that caused the child to react with challenging behavior?
• What was the child experiencing or feeling?
• What has caused the shift in the child’s pattern of behavior?
- What happened before the behavior?
- With whom did the behavior occur?
- Where did the behavior occur?
![Page 33: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Our Approach
• Reflective, rather than reactive
• Focus is on assisting child in getting needs met rather than eliminating the challenging behavior
• Goal is to help the child with developmental appropriate self-regulation so that developmental momentum is not
slowed down or disrupted
![Page 34: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Understanding Behavior is the
Key
• Watching children – careful observation
• Behavior is a form of communication -
children tell us their needs and wants
• Focus on the child. Ask “What is the
child trying to tell me?” and “I
wonder…”
• Create a best guess (hypothesis) and
choose supportive ways to respond
![Page 35: CSEFEL Module Three Infant Toddler · developmentally appropriate guidance procedures. Reasons for Challenging Behavior • Developmental surge ... •Frequent or intense tantrums](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050222/5f67d2138d1865657a01430b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

• It is important to understand that behavioral problems in infants and toddlers are very often the child’s way of communicating emotional distress.
• A collaborative, reflective process leading to an understanding of the meaning of the individual infant‘s or toddler’s challenging behavior followed by a plan of action is an effective intervention.
• A partnership with parents or other primary caregivers is an essential element of any effective intervention for infants or toddlers.
