- Acting out behaviors such as whining, yelling, hitting, kicking, swearing, refusing to follow rules
- Difficulty interacting with others
- Potential removal/expulsion from a childcare center or school
- Hyperactivity, impulsivity

Incredible Years® (IY®) Classroom
The Incredible Years® Classroom Program is for early childhood educators, equipping them with the expertise to manage their classrooms proficiently and cultivate children’s social/emotional learning and academic skills. This developmentally based program promotes academic
competence and prevents, reduces, and treats behavioral and emotional problems in young children.
Companion Group for Parents and Caregivers
Incredible Years includes a companion group for parents and caregivers. This group provides a confidential, supportive setting to learn how to strengthen your child’s social and emotional regulation skills. Caregivers receive guidance for using praise and incentives effectively, setting limits and using positive discipline techniques. It is also an opportunity for parents to share their experiences and learn from each other.
Toddlers and Preschoolers Succeeding (TAPS)
The TAPS program prepares children for school and later success by equipping them with the skills to follow directions and stay on task, communicate well, develop positive relationships with other children and adults and feel good about themselves. TAPS is offered in a number of local childcare centers, in preschools and as part of Head Start and Early Head Start Programs.
When a child is struggling with his or her behavior at childcare or in preschool, it can be frustrating and overwhelming for the child, the family and the childcare center.
