Description
In Season 2, Episode 2, host Merab Favorite, (filling in for Kristen Theisen) interviews Dr. Johnna Brynn, a mental health professional, and director of training and professional development of The Florida Center for Early Childhood. They discuss Flip-It, a strategy developed by a preschool teacher who created it to help deal with a little girl in her class that exhibited very challenging behaviors that impeded the learning of her peers. The process is simple, when one wants to change the behavior of a child they should acknowledge the child's feelings (F), set positive limits (L), inquire about what they're going through (I), and prompt (P) them with a solution.
