Webinar

Learn about practical strategies to support children who present with behaviours often associated with feelings of anxiousness.

These behaviours can include difficulties separating from parents and carers, excessive worrying, reduced communication, reluctance to participate in the general preschool program or resistance to engaging in specific activities. The workshop will discuss the different ways these feelings can manifest, the impact of COVID -19 on social emotional development and how educators can work in partnership with families to support these children and build emotional resilience.
