In this workshop, participants will learn practical strategies to help children readjust to attending early childhood programs due to COVID-19. In this strategy packed webinar, experienced play therapist and child psychologist, Christian Bellissimo will share the importance of structured daily routines to smooth transitions. Christian will also provide some ideas for play-based interaction skills that can empower children with a perceived loss of control that children often experience during major life changes.

Join this webinar to:

• Understand the impact of COVID-19 on the early childhood population, and how that has rendered early childhood programs more now important than ever.
• Learn strategies that will help children cope with the various forms of learning that are currently taking place, including in-person, hybrid, and remote. They include implementing a daily visual routine, utilizing structured transitions, and empowering children with a sense of agency and control through play.
• Recognize the need for more collaboration between home and school, and how beneficial sharing strategies with parents can support children’s adjustment at home.

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