These transitions may be involuntary when a child is removed from a child care setting as a result of suspension, expulsion, or the child being removed from a program because of intervention from an agency. This third part of the three part course will explore the potential impact external transition may have on the family and on child care centers. This module uses examples and ideas to explain how to work with children showing challenging behavior.
