SUMMARY:A DEVELOPING BRAIN - Traralgon
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Whole Child Development\nDesigned specifically for early childhood settings\, this workshop explores the recent developments in neuroscience that have given us remarkable insight into the conditions and experiences that can dramatically influence the growth and development of all young children in positive and enduring ways. Early childhood is a particularly critical time for the developing brain\, and the early childhood environment is rich with the necessary experiences and relationships to support children in their development\, behaviour\, learning\, and social and emotional well-being. The relationships and experiences children are exposed to in their earliest years\, will influence the neural foundations upon which their growth and development is built. This dynamic workshop will explore these conditions\, and ways early childhood professionals can translate this knowledge into practice to nurture the holistic development of all children. \nThe workshop will cover: \n\nhow the brain develops and how the experiences and relationships children are exposed to in early childhood will influence behaviour\, learning\, regulation\, social and emotional development\, and general well-being;\nthe relationships and experiences children need during early childhood to optimise learning\, and behavioural\, social\, and emotional development;\nthe strategies that can be used at a group or individual level to support the building of strong neural foundations in all young children;\nusing neuroscience to respond effectively to tantrums\, big behaviour\, and ‘big feelings’;\nlooking behind big behaviour – an easy\, practical way to understand behaviour through a neuroscientific lens\, and the importance of translating this into all early childhood practices;\nhow to nurture emotional self-regulation in children;\nwhy many common behaviour management techniques don’t work\, their impact on the developing brain\, and what to do instead;\nthe importance of attachment in building the strong neural foundations for essential areas of development including the ability to form meaningful relationships\, emotional regulation\, joy\, empathy\, independence\, and resilience;\nhow to activate attachment systems;\nthe impact of trauma on the developing brain\, specifically in relation to learning\, relationships\, social and emotional development\, behaviour;\nthe relational conditions and experiences that can protect and strengthen young children who have experienced trauma.\n\nWorkshop includes: \n\nCatering\nA copy of the Dear You\, Love From Your Brain book valued at $19.99\nLesson plan (early childhood)\nCPD certificate\n\nTarget audience: Early childhood educators\, support staff\, and all professionals who support them including occupational therapists\, social workers\, school counsellors\, psychologists\, early childhood specialists. \nThis workshop is approved for the School Readiness Funding Menu. This workshop can also be delivered In-house at your early childcare centre: $4840.00 (GST Included) and associated travel costs between $1000.00 – $1600.00 depending on your location for a maximum of 25 participants. Contact us to ask how. \nPresenter: Karen Young founded the popular website\, Hey Sigmund\, attracting millions of readers each year worldwide and is author of the best selling Hey Warrior book for young people with anxiety. She is a regular contributor to Parenting Magazine in New Zealand\, and can often be heard on Australian radio and TV programs such as The Project and the ABC. Her articles have been translated into a numerous languages and her work has been published internationally.
