Nurturing Social and Emotional Growth in Young Children

In this 2-hour session, we will explore simple and practical ways to help young children develop important social and emotional skills. These skills—like understanding and regulating feelings and behaviours, making and maintaining friendships, working with peers and feeling confident in social situations—help children have a smooth and successful transition to kindergarten and school life. We will share research-based information on the the important role of social and emotional development in early childhood, and easy-to-use strategies to support children’s social and emotional growth. This workshop will be engaging, practical, and provide ideas you can use right away!
