Did you know that adult-child play creates a life-long template for emotional resilience?
It’s how we play with children – not how much – that gives them a natural advantage in coping with childhood stressors and builds confident, competent, creative thinkers who are better prepared to step up to life’s curveballs. Through play, children learn how to stay calm in the face of difficulties, observe and describe their emotions, try on flexible perspectives, act on their own initiative, and experiment with new solutions until the problem is solved.
In this interactive training parents and professionals will learn how to support children in developing the brainpower to counteract everyday stress as well as extreme forms of trauma – and the challenging behaviors that sometimes arise out of these survival moments.
Join us to learn key strategies for boosting a child’s emotional immune system so they can navigate the challenges of growing up feeling brave, optimistic, and solution-focused.
