Better Kid Care—Infant–Toddler Care: Guiding Behavior

Babies and toddlers sometimes interact with their environment and with other children by grabbing, hitting, biting, and engaging in other common behaviors that can be seen as challenging. Learn about guiding the behavior of very young children and get ideas for helping them express themselves with Resource Guide 9.

The Resource Guides in our series are intended for people who work with infants and young children. Most of the Resource Guides are accompanied by handouts with practical ideas and activities related to the topic. The Resource Guides were compiled by CEED for the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). They are posted with MDE’s permission.
