This webinar will give early childhood educators a new and more helpful way of understanding self-regulation in young children. We will define self-regulation and why it’s important in early childhood education, differentiate between self-regulation and self-control, learn how to recognize and reduce stress in children and adults, and identify the connection between self-regulation and stress in children, educators, and parents. We will also reframe our view of children’s behaviour by examining the difference between stress behaviour and misbehavior and move from a punishment/consequence mindset to one based on compassion, understanding, and support.
