Toddlers often get a bad rap: “terrible twos”, “threenagers”.

Working with toddlers can be tricky, but understanding their need for autonomy within their play and routines and building strong relationships can reduce the power struggles and increase the delight. As we explore the importance of understanding children’s personalities and the role of schema in play, attendees will grow their confidence and become powerful advocates for the magic and wonder that is toddlerhood.
