description Many early educators struggle with how to address challenging behaviors that they feel are persistent, and in fact, challenging behavior is identified as teachers' most pressing training need. Feeling unprepared to prevent and intervene on challenging behavior can lead to increased teacher stress, burnout, and turnover. In the most extreme situations, children are excluded "permanently" from their early childhood program through expulsion. Young children with disabilities are at a higher risk for exclusionary discipline and therefore more likely to have negative outcomes because of these practices. In addition to concerns surrounding the equitable and just treatment of individuals with disabilities, exclusionary practices raise concerns around racial equity and justice. The purpose of this article is to share information on the use of suspension in early childhood settings and discuss alternatives to this disciplinary practice. Suggested changes to practices are woven throughout the article to bring to life salient features of disciplinary practices, common concerns about the use of suspension, and strategies practitioners can use in place of exclusionary practices, aligned with the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC) Recommended Practices.
