This expanded toolkit gives you the full prevention system: the Avoid Challenging Behaviors course, five practical activity guides, and the complete Trouble‑Free Transitions training. Together, these resources help you prevent challenging behaviors and guide children through daily routines with confidence, connection, and ease.
Instead of reacting to difficult moments or dreading transitions, you’ll learn how to create a classroom environment where children stay regulated, engaged, and ready for what comes next. This bundle is designed for real classrooms and real children — simple, practical, and immediately usable.
