CHLD 2014: Guiding the Behaviors of Infants and Toddlers

This course is designed to identify the behavioral characteristics and temperaments of infants and toddlers; to define the differences between guidance and punishment; and to learn age-appropriate strategies and techniques for use with infants and toddlers.
