March 24: Setting the Stage: Promoting Social- Emotional Health in Young Children
Social and emotional development, a critical aspect of overall brain development, begins at birth. Social-emotional skills are nurtured through daily routine, language and play. They are the foundations of social competence that affect a child’s ability to adapt in school and to form successful relationships throughout life. Learn about social emotional health, activities and resources that promote social emotional health, and explore ways to provide an environment that is responsive to social emotional health.
Extension Extras for Parents are free online parenting workshops that provide guidance for parents of young children as they navigate the joys, challenges and concerns of parenting.
Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.
Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.
If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
