Barb O'Neill, Ed.D.
Hi. I'm Barb. I created this event because I envision a world where all early childhood professionals feel confident and skilled at working with children they find challenging.
I love working with the "challenging" kids but I used to go home feeling fed up and questioning my career choice.
Then, I studied theater while also pursuing my Ed.D. in early childhood special ed. I discovered new strategies as well as how to use play to prevent challenging behavior.
This conference brings together what I’ve discovered during 25 years in the field combined with cutting edge ideas from other experts.
Let’s transform challenging behavior together.

I purchased the course because transitions are always difficult and wanted tips for a relatively new age group for me. I found the course very helpful and I have implemented many strategies.

It was a huge relief to get the strategies shared in the training...the clarity in using them was so meaningful for participants. My favorite one from the training was singing directions, and the importance of keeping it fresh by switching up the tune once in a while!
