Dear Families!
Thank you for your interest in this free DROP IN playgroup. My name is Joy Harper and I have worked with parents and their small children for many years. My goal is to provide parents/families an INTRODUCTION to interpret their language of behavior in a different way. This is done in real time with evidence based research to guide the conversations. This playgroup will discuss social and emotional development in young children. Each of the four sessions will focus on the science, research and practical applications in responding to the BiG Emotions of Little Humans.
This playgroup is designed for children ages birth to five years old. All family members are invited and welcomed! Additionally, these conversations will benefit child development at all ages & stages!! During the 3 hour open session playgroup there will be play activities for children to create and explore, while parents review enriching information and engage with other parents on shared experiences.
Every playgroup will include a circle time at 11a!
Session Topics:
Introduction: Co-regulation & Self Regulation
Session One: Brain Development & Family Learning: How children learn & and experience emotions
Session Two: The Anatomy of a Tantrum & How to Manage Them
