Young children need four essential things from adults for healthy emotional development: Connection, co-regulation, compassion and capacity-building. All children need a close relationship with at least one caring adult, help with calming, and to be treated with empathic concern, especially when experiencing distress. Children also need adult support to become more capable of handling future stressful situations appropriately. In this session, learn practical strategies for giving children what they really need, and leave ready to foster children’s resilience and self-regulation, to handle and prevent tantrums and meltdowns, and to support adults’ emotional health as well, including yours!
