Sponsored by ChildCare Education Institute.

Join Dr. Lauren Starnes in this webinar to address the big adult questions young children often ask that often cause us to pause, silence the child, or deflect the response. This session will guide you to answer difficult question respectfully and developmentally appropriately with even the youngest children. The webinar will explore big topics as miscarriage, domestic terror events, death of a classmate, and other equally emotional and unsettling topics.

In this session we will :

• Investigate the tendency to silence adult topic questions from children
• Discuss to the appropriate way for classroom teachers to address the unexpected questions
• Contrast this approach with how families may choose to address unexpected questions
• Authentically practice how to structure the conversation with a young child
• Model this approach with authentic questions and responses young children may pose

All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.

2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
