SUMMARY:Nourishing Emotional Health and Well-Being (Ours and Kids) Through Connection, Food and Play
DESCRIPTION:What if connection, food, and play weren’t separate concerns—but different expressions of the same caring instinct? This restorative and thought-provoking workshop invites participants to reimagine emotional health and well-being through a developmental lens. Drawing from relational science, human nature, and lived experience, we’ll explore how feeding, playing, and connecting are not just things we do for children, but powerful ways we help them come to emotional rest. When a child feels deeply seen, safely fed, or freely playful, they rest—and from this rest flows resilience, growth, and emotional well-being. This full-day session blends insight, story, and reflection with playful, interactive moments to replenish your capacity to care.\nPresenter: Dr. Deborah MacNamara\nDr. MacNamara is an award-winning researcher, author, developmentalist, counsellor, and educator with over 25 years of experience supporting parents, educators, child care providers, and helping professionals in making sense of children’s behaviour, emotional well-being, development, and feeding challenges. She has presented internationally including the United Nations, Dalai Lama Center for Peace & Education, and the Neufeld Institute.\nNotes:\n-Doors open at 9:00 am\nCost includes;\n-Morning refreshments\n-Lunch\n-Book\n-ECEBC Code of Ethics\n
