Description

Building Resilience in Pre-Schoolers

What you will learn from this session:

Building Resilience in Preschoolers examines how to improve mental health and wellbeing and long term outcomes for children in all areas. Educators will be given strategies to understand and respond to children’s emotions and behaviour and ideas to provide environments that proactively nurture wellbeing.

By attending Building Resilience in Preschoolers you will:

• Be informed of current research highlighting how strong mental health foundations support positive outcomes for life and learning.
• Unpacks the definition of resilience and how to build children’s capacity to ‘bounce back.’ We revisit the need for positive, secure, safe and respectful relationships plus quality learning environments which support the development of children’s social and emotional learning.
• Increase knowledge of techniques and resources to enhance the physical, temporal and social and emotional environments. Collectively we create strong foundations for wellbeing, communication and resilience through quality learning environments, nurturing relationships and positive interactions.
• You will be provided with practical strategies for building resilience in ourselves and children as we unpack and critically reflect on self, personality types and relationship building. Holistic environments promote children’s social and emotional learning, and their self regulation and positive behaviour.
• Understand the importance of meaningful connections with families to support children’s learning and sense of belonging reflecting cultural, demographic, economic and social factors
• Be exposed to research on how trauma and disadvantage can negatively impact children’s development and the therapeutic value of play.
• Hear the real-life experiences our early childhood consultants bring to this presentation where they will address a range of common scenarios in the 3-5 years age group and offer suggestions to support resilience.
• Receive insight and deep understanding of young children's behaviour from our experienced consultants.
