Children are observant and intuitive about many world issues. As families and teachers take in the news about current events, children pay attention and learn from adult reactions. How can we have developmentally appropriate conversations with young children to discuss, break down, and cope with these issues?
Educators for Peaceful Classrooms and Communities (EPCC) is offering a free, virtual workshop to explore best practices for approaching challenging conversations with young children. In this workshop, presenters will provide tools to have meaningful, developmentally appropriate conversations with children. The webinar will also explore how to create safe spaces for having these conversations.
Educators for Peaceful Classrooms and Communities (EPCC) began as a CAEYC sub-committee in 1992 to address the need for teacher training in the issues of violence in the lives of children. The group eventually became incorporated as a nonprofit and expanded into the digital space, offering online workshops and trainings for educators. The organization’s mission is to impart the values of peace to the community, families, and most of all to children by educating young children, teachers, and families in ways of being peaceful.
