Webinar - Little Bodies, Big Emotions: Understanding and Nurturing Children's Emotional Well-Being

Webinar - Little Bodies, Big Emotions: Understanding and Nurturing Children's Emotional Well-Being

Online Wednesday, July 10, 2024 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Emotion, often considered a nuisance we need to quiet or calm down,

 is now confirmed to be at the core of human development and well-being. 

Misunderstood by scholars and caregivers for over a hundred years, there is so much we have to un-do. 

Current neuroscience reveals the essential and playful path to emotional health and maturation for us all. 

Yet, little is being taught about the nature of emotions or their implications for caregiving. 

To make sense of emotions is to make sense of children and adults alike.

 Join us to gain insights and working and playing knowledge of the science of emotions. We will explore:

• How emotion seeks expression, facilitating safe expression by learning the gift each child's emotion could deliver.
• Understanding the caregiver's role in nurturing the five steps to emotional maturation.
• Recognising emotion as the catalyst for troublesome behaviours.
• Sustaining a safe and respectful caregiving relationship with children when emotion-driven behaviours erupt.

Living Inquiries:

• Well-being and Belonging.
• Communication and Literacies.

Pathways:

• Joy in relationships with people, place, materials and ideas.
• Diversity and difference.
• Safety and respect.
• Emotions, thoughts, and views.
• Every child is a gift.
• Multiple modes of communication.
• Language and communication.
