About this Event

Instructor: Janna Mason

Nevada Registry Approved: 2.0 Hours

CKA: Positive Interactions & Guidance


Fix the Fuse, Not the Fire helps early childhood educators look beyond behavior to understand the triggers driving it. Through interactive activities and practical tools, participants learn proactive and responsive de-escalation strategies while strengthening their own emotional regulation—creating calmer classrooms and stronger relationships with young children.

Training Objectives:

1 . By the end of this session, participants will identify common triggers (“fuses”) that lead to escalated behaviors.

2 . By the end of this session, participants will learn and apply a toolbox of proactive and responsive de-escalation strategies for many different specific behaviors.

3 . By the end of this session, participants will identify strategies for maintaining emotional regulation as an adult during challenging behaviors.


Each professional development session offered by The Children’s Cabinet utilizes a knowledge check to ensure that our participants understand our training objectives and our instructors are providing a comprehensive learning experience. You can expect to receive a three question quiz or test at the end of each training. If you have questions or concerns, or need additional information about this process, feel free to contact the Professional Development Training Coordinator at 775-856-6200.
