Supporting Social-Emotional Development: February 23 and March 2, 6-8:30pm

This is a 2-part workshop. Please plan to attend on both February 16th and February 23rd.

In this interactive workshop learn how to understand and support the social-emotional development of the children in your care.

A child’s social-emotional development provides them with a sense of who they are in the world, how they learn and helps them establish quality relationships with others. It is what drives an individual to communicate, connect with others, and more importantly, helps resolve conflicts, gain confidence and reach goals. Building a strong social-emotional foundation as a child will help the child thrive and obtain happiness in life. They will be better equipped to handle stress and persevere through difficult times in their lives as an adult. Early educators will walk away from this two-part series workshop having learned the basics on how to:

  • Help children understand their feelings and emotions
  • Support children’s emotional understanding
  • Promote Social-Emotional Development
  • Addressing challenging behaviors
  • Strategies to manage challenging behaviors
