Stay at home and learn! This course is designed using a proven self-study format - an excellent way to juggle work, family AND school. This self-study course tackles one of the most trying issues in child care: Behavior. Through materials to read, assignments to complete, activities to try, and personal consultation, you will discover new, and build on old, strategies for guiding behavior.
