Long before the pandemic, there was a dramatic rise in children’s stress, anxiety, and dysregulated behavior. The pandemic exacerbated the situation so much so that leading health organizations declared a national state of emergency on children’s mental health. The role of the educator is critical in supporting children’s development of stress management and emotional regulation skills, not only to manage big feelings but also to better regulate behavior and learning.
This webinar, hosted by Early Learning Investigations Webinars, will focus on the role of educators and caregivers as key socializers in children’s development of self-regulation and the impact of co-regulation in the classroom.
During this event, participants will learn how to provide children, and themselves, with self-care skills, through the process known as “co-regulation.” Participants will learn how to develop positive, supportive, and responsive relationships to help children develop self-regulation. Child psychologist and early education expert, Dr. Housman, and early childhood educator Emily Stone will guide participants to…
