This presentation emphasizes the critical role of responsive, nurturing relationships in early childhood development, especially for children who have experienced trauma. It provides practical strategies for educators to foster secure attachments, regulate emotions, and build resilience, supported by current research and trauma-responsive practices.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will be able to explain how nurturing, supportive, and attuned relationships contribute to healthy brain development and social-emotional growth in young children.
2) Participants will learn and practice specific techniques for creating safe, predictable environments, co-regulating emotions, and building secure attachments with children, including “serve and return” interactions.
3) Participants will be able to identify physical and emotional cues in young children, differentiate between sensations and feelings, and use appropriate language and actions to support children’s emotional literacy and resilience.
