From the NAEYC Position Statement on Young Children and Technology

"Effective uses of technology and media are active, hands-on, engaging, and empowering; give the child control; provide adaptive scaffolds to ease the accomplishment of tasks; and are used as one of many options to support children's learning.

Interactions with technology and media should be playful and support creativity, exploration, pretend play, active play, and outdoor activities."

Addressing Challenging Behaviors

Whether a child hits others, uses inappropriate language, or throws a tantrum, all educators have to address challenging behaviors in the classroom.
