When it comes to behaviors, it’s all about social emotional development. During this training, we will reflect on the use of developmentally appropriate social and emotional techniques, how they impact and reinforce positive attachment relationships, and how they lead to changes in behavior. Caregiving relationships will be shown to support emotional regulation and social skills by modeling and encouraging positive behaviors in young children. By using visuals, group discussions, and case studies, you will be able to support meaningful social and emotional growth within your child care program. Through examining your own beliefs, reflecting on various theoretical perspectives, and considering the realities of child care programs, we can share tools that support culturally relevant ways to implement social and emotional learning.
