About this webinar

Early childhood teachers are expert problem solvers. But often, they issue many instructions and demand compliance, missing the big opportunities to build regulation skills with children. This is where supervisors can have enormous influence in coaching teachers to refine their understanding and skills to refocus on social-emotional development. In this paradigm-shifting webinar, experienced early childhood coach and trainer Prerna Richards will shed light on how you can play a pivotal role in shaping the emotional well-being of both teachers and students. This webinar will explore the transformative power of co-regulation, emphasizing its significance over traditional compliance-based approaches. By understanding and implementing co-regulation strategies, supervisors can empower teachers to navigate challenging situations with empathy and support, fostering a positive learning environment that nurtures emotional resilience in young learners. Learn how a simple shift in approach can diffuse tension, promoting a harmonious atmosphere where children feel safe, understood, and ready to embark on their educational journey. At the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

  • Be able to explain the 3 parts of self/co-regulation to teachers in your program.

  • Explain the differences between demanding compliance and developing co-regulation skills.

  • Plan 5 ways to support the teachers in your program to nurture emotional resilience in the children in their classrooms.

  All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor. 2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
