Everyday interactions and environments affect children’s social and emotional development! During this interactive workshop, we will examine factors that influence positive social and emotional development in young children. We will identify and analyze components from a typical day that can be modified to support children’s social and emotional development in new ways. Participants will leave this session with a renewed perspective on how they can provide richer interactions, environments, and intentional activities to enrich children’s social and emotional development. The actual training session is 3 hours with a post "Into Practice" activity as follow up and implementation of the learning. Full OA training credit will be 4 hours.
