ABOUT THE COURSE
Would you like to understand why children cry and what is going on for them in the moments they have big feelings expressed as tantrums? Sometimes, it can be hard to determine where all these big feelings are coming from, what they mean and how we can support the children in our care in ways that are nurturing and respectful.
You will leave this webinar with a deeper understanding of crying and tantrums, as well as ways to support children through the big feelings they experience on a day-to-day basis.
What will I learn from this course?
This Live webinar covers research from neuroscience, biology, attachment, child development and trauma. You will discover why children experience big, often explosive episodes of feelings that can leave us, as Educators, feeling overwhelmed and powerless with how to help. This is a trauma-informed approach, focusing not just on how we can prevent stress and trauma for children, but also demonstrating ways we can help them heal from stresses when they are in our care.
