Early Years Behaviour Change Course | WhenTheAdultsChange Our Behaviour Change for Early Years Course is everything you need to support each child as a unique learner at the most critical stage of their development. The course is totally flexible. Do it all in one go, or take your time learning in small chunks while testing strategies with your children. The importance of your own behaviour cannot be underestimated. It frames everything. So we start with that.
