Name-calling: "Behavior Bytes" Series

In this “byte-sized” episode, Caley covers the common early childhood behavior: name-calling.

This is such a common behavior during the preschool years and elementary school! Learn how to approach it, redirect it, and use it as a teaching opportunity instead of shutting the child down or giving the mean words more power.

For the past 12 years, she has worked in a variety of roles to serve families including preschool teacher, early interventionist, behavior therapist, and now a private consultant and podcaster.

Her most recent professional development includes Conscious Discipline™, The Play Project ™, and training with Dr. Ross Greene on his Collaborative Problem-Solving approach. Caley grounds her work in the most up-to-date neuropsychology, Attachment Theory, and developmentally appropriate practices that value the parent-child relationship over compliance.
