Abstract: This monograph was written to accompany a four-part inservice training program for early childhood educators and caretakers in Maine concerning behavioral problems in early childhood settings. It was developed as part of the LEARNS Early Childhood program, Maine's statewide initiative for inclusive education. The focus is on preventing problem behaviors through the creation of environments that build community; emphasize respectful, responsive relations; foster friendships; and teach children to develop skills for peaceful conflict resolution and problem solving. Each chapter is based on one of the program's seminars: (1) belonging, (2) fostering friendships, (3) building peaceful classrooms, and (4) pulling it all together with positive supports. Each chapter includes answers to common questions based on research, practical strategies for implementing the principles identified, and suggested resources (books, articles, videotapes, and Web sites). (Contains 105 references.) (DB)
