Supporting Educators Responding to the Challenging Behaviors of Children in ECEC Services 

​Rapid brain development takes place in the early stage of life. Neuroscience suggests that about 80% of brain development occurs in the first five years. This phenomenon takes place rapidly but in different forms and ways. For this, an appropriate course of stimulating, activating, and responding to their behaviours by parents or others is vital. Many children spend most of their active time in non-parental care, mostly in ECEC services. This intensifies the role early childhood professionals play in a child's life.
