The Listen, Limit, Listen process
Listen: Get down on eye level so you can ask the child what is going on. Ask the child to tell you why s/he is yelling and acting out and if they want to talk about it.
Limit: If the child insists on unreasonable behavior you must step in. Tell s/he what you think is reasonable and make sure the unreasonable behavior doesn't continue. If she is yelling at her friend and won't stop pick her up gently and take her to another part of the room. If the child is throwing toys put your hand on the toy before s/he can throw it and tell them that you will not let them throw the toy. No punishment or lectures are needed, you just need to step in. Children that are under stress can't think well.They can't process what we are telling them, so they don't do what we ask. You need to expect and prepare for this and handle it calmly.
Listen: This is the stress release step and will help the child greatly. After you've stepped in and stopped the child from the unreasonable behavior s/he will most likely cry or throw a tantrum.This is the child's way of getting rid of the tension that made her unreasonable in the first place. if oyu can stay close to the child while she cries until she regains her ability to listen, be cooperative and to make the best of the situation at hand.

Listen: Get down so you are at eye level and simply ask them what is going on. Limit: They are talking about unreasonable behavior you have to step in and give other options Listen: This is the step where the children may start to throw a fit, in the light of the moment it is your job to decide what is best.
For me, none of these steps will be hard at all.

Probably the first Listen. Sometimes when kids are really upset and not processing what you are saying it can be hard to help them, which can make the situation frustrating.

Listen: ask them what is going on, make sure you are eye level to them Limit:If a child is talking about unreasonable behavior you need to step in and give a better option Listen: This is when the child will start to throw a tantrum and it is your job to step in and decide whats best.
The last listen would probably be the most difficult because in light of a child freaking out you still have to stick to your guns and do what is best.

The Listen, Limit, Listen is a three step process used for caregivers in order for them to set limit’s on children’s behavior and help the children relieve the stress they are under and regain their innate good judgment and joy in cooperation. The steps are: Listen: Get down so you are at eye level and ask “What’s going on?” Ask the child why he or she is yelling and let the child talk about how upset he or she feels. Limit: If the child is insisting on unreasonable behavior, you must step in. Tell her what you think is reasonable, and then make sure that her unreasonable behavior doesn’t continue. Listen: “Stress release” step. After you have stepped in to prevent the child from doing things that don’t make sense, she will begin to cry, storm or tantrum. This is constructive. It is the child’s way of getting rid of tension that made her unreasonable in the first place. If you can stay close while she cries or storms, she will continue until she has regained her ability to listen, to be cooperative, and to make the best of the situation at hand. I do not find any of the steps difficult.

The Listen, Limit, Listen process -
Listen: Get down on eye level and ask the child what is going on.
Limit: If the child is insisting on unreasonable behavior, you must step in. Tell her what you think is reasonable, and then make sure that the unreasonable behavior doesn’t continue. Children who are under stress can’t think well. They can’t process what we tell them, so they don’t do what we ask. You must expect this, and step in, gently but firmly, to see that they don’t continue to do irrational things.
Listen: This is the “stress release” step - the one that will help the child immensely. After you have stepped in to prevent the child from doing things that don’t make sense, she will most likely begin to cry, storm, or tantrum. This is constructive. It is the child’s way of getting rid of the tension that made her unreasonable in the first place. If you can stay close while she cries or storms, she will continue until she has regained her ability to listen, to be cooperative, and to make the best of the situation at hand. I do not really find the any of the steps difficult, but the first "listen" can be a little tough in my class of 1-2 year olds, most of whom are not yet talking or not talking very well, and that makes it hard for them to "tell" me what is causing their distress.

These 3 helpful techniques I will apply immediately as I am new. The following are the descriptions of each technique in the "Listen, Limit and Listen" process: 1. Listen is best done by getting down to a child's eye level or scoop him or her up to your eye level and ask what is upsetting them. 2. Limit by getting involved if unreasonable behavior occurs explaining what is reasonable and that this behavior is not allowed in the classroom. 3. Listen by taking one on one time with the child to calm down by staying close until they are calm enough to tell what is wrong and or rejoin the class.

Listen: ask them what is going on, make sure you are eye level to them Limit: get involved if unreasonable behavior is happening Listen: This is when the child will start to throw a tantrum and it is your job to step in and decide what is best.
The last step of listen would probably be the most difficult because in light of a child throwing a tantrum out you still have to stick to your guns and do what is best.

Listen:Get to eye level and ask child what is wrong Limit:get involved if unreasonable behavior occurs and explain the difference of what is right from wrong Listen: release step, very important to getting a good response from child. Allow them time to regain their thoughts and calm down from any tantrums and make best decision for what to do next if any more steps necessary.
I would say last step because it can be hard to decide what actions need to be taken and it is in our hands to resolve issue.

Listen: help the child identify what is getting them upset by being in tune to their level Limit: give them choices on how to resolve the issue by reorganizing them by redirection of play. listen: let them realize their actions are deconstructive and help them regroup to a more appropriate behavior.
for me the second listen is the hardest yet the most important action for this process
