Online Workshop – What Young Children NEED You to Know about Them
Description: When we apply adult logic to young children it makes interacting with them more frustrating and tiring than it was ever meant to be. This talk will tackle commonly misunderstood behaviours including temper tantrums, resistance, defiance, frustration, impulsiveness, shyness, separation anxiety and will also focus on how we can guide them through it all by meeting their needs for connection and play. Material is firmly rooted in developmental science and attachment theory and is applicable to all ages.

06:30 PM online Workshop -Trust and Relationship Building in Child Care Centres: How Do We Connect with Children with Developmental Challenges
online Workshop -Trust and Relationship Building in Child Care Centres: How Do We Connect with Children with Developmental Challenges
Description: As child care providers we are taught how to facilitate and support the five key areas of children’s development and spend much of our time and energy thinking about and implementing games and activities to support this development. However, sometimes in the planning and implementing we forget about the connections that we need to create in order to make all the children feel safe enough to learn from us. This is especially true for children with challenges and different learning needs. In this workshop we hope to help you create stronger bonds and deeper relationships with all children in your care. Through some examples and strategies, we will explore each developmental area through a relationship lens. We hope that you will be able to come away feeling a deeper understanding of the role that attachment and connection plays in your child care centres especially in relation to some of the more challenging behaviors. SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS Presenter: Pia Evans Having worked in infant/toddler, preschool, group care and, running her own family daycare, Pia has been creating relationships with children, families and other child care providers for over 25 years. Currantly Pia works as a Supported Child Development Consultant with Reach, helping to support child care providers in Delta integrate children with special needs into their centres. Her passion is children with challenges and how early relationships those children create with others can frame their learning and growth in the future.

Braver Together
Description: We’re on the heels of one of our most disconnected years. This means that we need to remind ourselves—and each other—that we can’t tell our children how to be brave, we have to show them. It’s a day for educators, parents, caregivers, grandmas, and aunties. It’s for anyone who has a kid, teaches a kid, or loves a kid. We will talk all things trauma, mental health, joy, and staying connected with each other as we come together, braver than ever, to walk one another home.
