'FEELINGS & BEHAVIOUR - A CREATIVE APPROACH'

‘Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured’

This statement is one of the guiding principles of the EYFS (2021) and this half-day course will explore how we can translate it into practice. With plenty of practical ideas, the session will look at ways to support children’s personal, social and emotional development and encourage positive behaviour.

The session will include:

  • Identifying everyday behaviour concerns and how to respond appropriately.
  • A brief overview of trauma-informed practice, and the importance of attachment and developing positive relationships.
  • Creative ways to help children to build their resilience, self-confidence and problem-solving skills.
  • Practical tips and strategies to enable you to deal with biting, tantrums, settling-in and conflict resolution.

There will be a mix of trainer input, a visual presentation, and small group activities and discussion in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Notes and a further reading list will be provided.
