No Mine! I wanna Do it! Help me Navigate My Big Emotions
Karen Stevens, TIKES Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultants
Our goal for the workshop is to help teachers utilize routine parts of their day to highlight and strengthen their classrooms social-emotional literacy. We plan to validate the concerns and frustrations commonly felt by teachers of students with big emotions. We also want to educate an equip teachers with tools such as their social stories, a curated book list, and additional knowledge about social-emotional health, that will give them the confidence necessary to teach children how to identify and regulate their big emotions.
