Part 1* of our series, Children Under Stress, explained the experience of stress in young children as a result of the changes inherent to military family life and why it is expressed in their behavior. In Part 2**, we learned why some children express that stress in "internalizing" behaviors, and how child care providers can respond with empathy and age-appropriate support. In this final segment of the series, we focus on children who turn their stress outward, in "externalizing" behaviors that can be disruptive and difficult to deal with in the child care setting. Learn - What "externalizing" behaviors are; - Why some children are more apt to respond by lashing out; - How child care professionals can help these children learn to cope with overwhelming emotions and control explosive impulses; - Practical strategies for providing support in the context of group care; - Tips for working with parents when children are externalizing their distress.
