Gaining an Understanding of Social-Emotional Development

A VIRTUAL Early Childhood Education Workshop

We will discuss what healthy social and emotional development is and why it is important. Join us virtually on Zoom for this workshop. Eligible for Gateways credits via self-reporting.

In this training, we will discuss what healthy social-emotional development is and why it is important. We will explore tools and strategies child care providers and teachers can use to address the social-emotional needs of children in their programs and help them see how they are already supporting social-emotional development with children. Children with well-developed social-emotional skills are better able to: express their ideas and feelings, display empathy toward others, manage their feelings of frustration and disappointment, feel self-confident, make and sustain friendships more easily, and succeed in school.

Workshop facilitated by Anne Konen, M.S, LSW, I/ECMH-C, Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant at Illinois Action for Children.
