Trauma-informed Emotional Regulation & Well-Being in Early Learning Settings Series: How to Help Children Feel Safe and Seen – Session One: Holistic Emotional Regulation Workshop

Emotional Regulation is a hot topic! Come and learn relational skills that will set the stage for more emotional regulation in early learning settings. Leave with hands-on tools & strategies that you can use immediately. Emotional Regulation is a skill that is modelled and practiced by caregivers. This is a skill like all others, they take time and practice to develop. Early Childhood Educators play a vital role in supporting the foundations of mental health in young children. Each day early learning professionals have opportunities to model and help shape children’s emotional regulation skills. Early learning settings that offer emotionally safe spaces and foster emotional awareness teach our children necessary lifelong skills. Topics such as: emotional safety, co-regulation, neuro-affirming practices, developmental trauma, attachment styles, inclusive settings, equity, and staff resiliency are vital for the mental health of our entire ECE community, including children, teachers, and administration. Early learning settings have the potential to be the buffers necessary for the toxic stress levels we are seeing in modern families and harnessing that potential could be life-changing for families.
