CE credit is not available for this webinar.

In Part 1 of our "Children Under Stress" series, we learned that children are especially vulnerable to the impact of stresses that are common to military family life. Young children communicate their distress and inability to cope through changes in their behavior, behavior that is often very challenging for child care providers to understand and deal with in the child care setting.

In Part 2, John Kinsel will talk in greater depth about those children who express their distress through "internalizing" behaviors, such as withdrawing, regressing in their developmental skills, depression, or passively aggressive behaviors such as lying.

In this session, you will learn:
- What "internalizing" behaviors are
- Why some children are more apt to internalize their distress
- How child care professionals can help these children learn to cope with the big emotions and difficult to understand situations they are experiencing
- Practical strategies for providing support in the context of group care
- Tips for working with parents when children are internalizing their distress
