Promoting Self-Regulation with the Bottom-Up Approach – In-Person Workshop

Research has shown that self-regulation is one of the key life skills related to learning as well as emotional, social, and physical well-being. From taking turns to expressing their big emotions appropriately, infants and toddlers require much learning, practice, and support from early childhood educators. During this workshop, early childhood educators will be introduced to their crucial role as co-regulators while discussing the development of regulation. They will explore different strategies to meet an individual child’s needs based on tackling different levels of the brain.

SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS
