Abstract: A survey instrument was used to explore preschool early childhood educators' self-reported perceptions and attributions regarding challenging behaviors in young children, in urban areas in Chile (n =120), Ecuador (n = 193), and Guatemala (n = 284). The role of teacher demographics (education, early childhood education and early childhood education teaching experience) on their perceptions and attributions of challenging behavior was also analyzed. Results indicated that across countries there were not significant differences on self-reported preparedness by teachers' demographics, but there were a few significant differences on attributions of challenging behavior across countries. Implications of these findings are discussed from a cross- cultural perspective in terms of preschool professional development and access to culturally relevant programs and approaches to address challenging behaviors.
