Supporting Stressed Young Children Through Relationship-based Teaching Training
This two-hour training is for professionals from education, social work, health care and mental health who are interested in learning more about how to work with highly stressed children.
The goal of this training is to offer early childhood professionals from multiple disciplines who work with young children and their families an opportunity to explore relationship-based practice. We believe this will result in an increase in teacher-child interactions associated with trusting, supportive care giving and the development of more secure attachments between you and many of the children with whom you work. We predict that these relationships will eventually result in a reduction in challenging behaviors and an increase in developmental progress among the children involved. In addition, we believe that you will have a renewed sense of self-efficacy, a sense that you can meet many of the challenges that confront you in your work with children.
