About the Workshop "Happy, Relaxed and Engaged: Universal Strategies for Tricky Moments in Early Learning"

This workshop focuses on supporting children through tricky moments across a typical day in an early learning setting using a child-centred approach. We will explore inclusive and compassionate strategies that support children’s regulation and skill development within the classroom. Educators will unpack common barriers to inclusion, develop an understanding of the behaviour escalation cycle, and walk away with practical tools and strategies to support children across a range of common daily routines such as group time, rest time, transitions and more.
