OUR KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS
"The Four C's" of Emotional Support
(For Administrators) Learn a structure of emotional support that will transform your entire program. It will help you boost your own and your teachers' emotional intelligence, enabling all of you to work with children and adults more compassionately, confidently and competently. When your teachers use the 4 C's in the classroom, they will help improve children's' behavior, contribute to their resiliency, build their self-regulation skills, support their social-emotional development and much more! The 4 C's are a win, win, win, win! |
Welcoming & Supporting Challenging Children
(For Administrators) Learn about possible pathways to children’s challenging behaviors through personal stories and evidence from experts. You will be challenged to welcome these children into our program and to commit to helping children improve their behavior within the program, instead of removing them. With your support, your teachers can learn skills to build relationships and to prevent or handle the behaviors. The children and their families, your teachers and your curriculum will all benefit! |
Challenging Behavior from the Child's Perspective
(For Administrators and Teachers) Hear from a parent-child pair, Diane and Corinne, as they share their stories of their challenging early years together. As a young adult with mental health special needs, Corinne articulately shares the thoughts and feelings behind her behavioral difficulties. She demonstrates the rationale for research-based strategies to support children like her, which DIane will present. You will be touched by Corinne's struggles and leave ready to develop more compassionate relationships with every child and family! |
Handling Tantrums and Meltdowns
(For Everyone) When children experience an emotional meltdown, their behavior is telling us they need our help handling the situation. The most important thing we can do is to remain calm ourselves, which is of course much easier said than done! Learn helpful strategies for keeping your cool, and explore three other emotional supports children really need from adults during a meltdown. You’ll also discover what they don’t need in the moment of a meltdown and why. Leave with the knowledge and strategies to handle future meltdowns with confidence and skill! |
Relationships - The Key to Quality Early Care & Education
(For Everyone) Research shows that “serve and return” interactions that begin in infancy build a strong foundation for children's brain development, positively affecting them for a lifetime. Discover how relationships between children and caring adults affect the children's ability to learn, their behavior and even their health. Leave with many strategies, activities and games for strengthening relationships with all your children, and you'll leave ready to be a skilled brain-builder! |
Hurray for the Power of Play!
(For Everyone) Children's best learning happens through play, and play provides the best opportunities for adults to learn about children. Of course, play is fun for adults, too! Discover the importance of play, identify which types of play have the most benefit for you and for your children, and get tips for being a good observer. Learn to put more play into your schedule, and all your days will become even more powerful times of learning and fun! |
