Sponsored by Life is Good Playmaker Project.

In every community, 1 in 3 children experience some form of life-threatening adversity like homelessness, abuse, or violence. Research shows that a positive relationship with just one caring adult in early childhood can change that child’s life entirely. As an early childhood educator, you are in a prime position to establish strong positive relationships to support young children before, during, and after critical experiences.

Join clinical social worker and founder of The Playmaker Project, Steve Gross, MSW, to learn how to build relationships with children to overcome the impacts of early childhood adversity. Steve and his team at the Playmaker Project have boiled down 30+ years of field experience into a 4-step framework for building corrective play experiences that help early childhood professionals develop healing relationships with children. In this thoughtful, fun, and informative, you will explore ways to enhance joyfulness, social connection, internal control, and active engagement in your work with kids and walk away with concrete tools to apply…well…the very next day.

In this engaging webinar, you will:

Discover the power you have as a caregiver in building life-changing relationships with the children you serve and feel validated & energized in the essential work that you do.
Deepen your understanding of the consequences of adverse childhood experiences on brain development, social-emotional development, and physical health.
Learn strategies, frameworks, and tools for creating corrective, healing environments & experiences that are safe/empowering, connecting, joyful, and engaging.

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

2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
