Registered Psychotherapist and Child Centered Play Therapist

Supporting the early learning and child care community across York Region.

Topic Overview

Challenging behaviours are often a child's way of communicating an unmet need. Child-Teacher Relationship Training (CTRT) equips early childhood educators with practical, play-based strategies to understand the meaning behind behaviours and respond in ways that reduce power struggles, strengthen relationships, and promote emotional regulation. Instead of simply managing behaviour, educators gain the skills to foster lasting change while creating a calmer, more connected classroom.
