It is often challenging for children to separate their feelings from their actions. When struck with big emotions like anger, frustration or disappointment, impulse control disappears and the child may respond dramatically or disruptively. Resilience is the developing child’s superpower. When big feelings emerge, resilience enables the child to regulate those emotions and bounce back. This webinar will focus on self-regulation’s role as one of our brain’s most important executive functions. Learn how self-regulation can be strengthened and explore strategies for coaching an unruly preschooler toward increased impulse control and greater resilience.

Early childhood educators bring learning magic with them to school each day. However, sometimes children in their care are reluctant and resistant to learning. Teachers are always searching for the magic wand to transform behavior. Why can’t I reach this child? How can I motivate curiosity, creativity, and cooperation? When will this child be ready to pay attention and engage enthusiastically? This positive psychology seminar considers the key concepts of positive psychology and how to apply these cutting-edge ideas to deter challenging actions and reactions in the classroom; and to maximize effective interventions that work to diminish, deconstruct, and re-direct challenging interactions and transactions in your classroom. While the focus of this webinar is on working with children in a classroom, the concepts can also be applied to working with children in small groups or in a 1-1 setting. Learn how positive psychology in action hijacks the neurobiology of your students to help facilitate calm, care, and collaboration in your classroom. Bring back the magic!

There is a belief that real learning for children happens inside, usually at a table or sitting cross- legged, passively listening to an adult. It is believed that time spent outside only has value in providing children with an opportunity to ‘blow off steam.’
It’s time to bust this myth! We need to be able to identify all the learning that happens naturally when children are outdoors. Through this, we begin to value outdoor experiences and then loudly and confidently advocate for outdoor play. As we unpack our own concerns and challenges about spending time outside, can we begin to overcome our apprehension and plan our days around spending large amounts of time outdoors.

This webinar reveals how a subtle but powerful element of adult language, pronoun choice and placement, shapes toddlers’ early identity, emotional resilience, and intrinsic motivation long before they can fully express themselves. In the first three years of life, pre- and emerging verbal children do not process words as outcome-based instructions; they absorb them as emotion-based identity statements. By understanding how toddlers neurologically process pronouns, adults’ words either foster intrinsic motivation or anchor external approval-seeking. Using simple one-word language swaps you will choose how to use pronouns intentionally to wire young brains for self-confidence, perseverance, and gritty behavior, three essential indicators for success in school and life.

Explore how movement, music, and mindful food experiences can help young children build emotional regulation, body awareness, and readiness to learn. Teachers, therapists, social workers, and other early childhood professionals working with young children will benefit from this webinar. This session brings together two complementary approaches: from Bari and Yogapalooza: joyful, classroom-friendly yoga and mindfulness practices that help children (and educators) transition from silly to calm, and from Dr. Yum: creative strategies to help children explore food with curiosity, reduce mealtime anxiety, and build healthier eating habits. Participants will engage in movement, music, and a live guided food exploration.
