The end of the preschool year can be challenging for adults and children alike. While many children are thriving in our early childhood settings, some are still struggling with peer interactions, responding to big feelings and changes in routines.
This webinar will focus on the importance of maintaining predictable routines but supporting children when changes occur, helping children to respond to big emotions, and reflecting on how adults are responding during this often stressful time of year.
Dr Mary Louise Hemmeter is a Professor of Special Education at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, U.S.A. Her research focuses on effective instruction, supporting social emotional development and addressing challenging behaviour, and coaching teachers.
