In early childhood settings, behaviour guidance isn’t just about managing challenges—it’s about creating spaces and experiences that help children feel safe, connected, and capable. Designing for Redirection is an interactive, hands-on workshop that explores how the physical and emotional environment can support positive behaviour and emotional regulation in young children.

Together, we’ll explore how to intentionally design our spaces in ways that make it easier to use practical redirection strategies as part of a supportive, strengths-based approach to behaviour guidance. We will look at how thoughtful design can help children navigate big feelings, build self-awareness, and make more empowered choices.

Through real-world scenarios, collaborative activities, and reflective conversation, participants will gain tools to:

• Recognize the emotional needs beneath behaviours
• Create calm, responsive spaces that reduce stress and encourage regulation
• Use redirection techniques that teach rather than punish
• Support the development of foundational social-emotional skills

This session is perfect for educators looking to move beyond quick fixes and build environments where guidance feels respectful, intentional, and rooted in connection.
