The masterclass 'Difficult Behavior: How to deal with it mindfully?' focuses on dealing effectively and mindfully with various forms of difficult behavior. As a trainer of the 'Attention Works!' method, you may encounter challenging behavior from children during lessons, but also from parents, teachers, colleagues or clients outside of the lessons. This refresher course offers insights and practical tools to deal with these situations, both inside and outside the lessons.

Objective of the masterclass
The aim of this masterclass is to make you aware of the different types of difficult behavior that you may encounter in your work and to learn how to deal with them professionally and mindfully. We will explore how your own perception of behavior plays a role, and provide a practical model that teaches you to distinguish between behavior that you can change and behavior that you must stop (also mindfully). You will receive tools to deal with difficult behavior and to determine which behaviors do not have to be tolerated.
Who is this workshop for?
This masterclass is intended for trainers of the 'Attention Works!' method who encounter challenging behavior in their lessons or in their work. This can include trainers who work with children, but also professionals who have contact with parents, teachers, colleagues or clients. The training is also very suitable for anyone who wants to learn how to deal mindfully with difficult behavior in a professional setting.
