Keynote: How to Nurture Children's Self-Regulation in the Early Years

Course overview

The ability to understand and manage behaviour and reactions helps children to learn and behave well, to get along with others and to become independent. 

In this 2-hour webinar designed for early years settings, Early Years Director and Behaviour Lead, Tamsin Grimmer, will help you to guide young children to become better at regulating their own emotions. So that they feel safe, secure, and ready to learn and your setting becomes a calmer place. 

In association with Thrive, Tamsin’s webinar will help you understand why children behave the way they do. And to feel more confident when supporting their behaviour.

‘How to Nurture Children's Self-regulation in the Early Years’ is happening on Zoom on 16th May 2023 between 3.30pm and 5.30pm. 

If you’re ready for insights designed to educate and support, book onto Tamsin’s one-time-only webinar. By the end of this webinar, you’ll understand how to:

• Define self-regulation and consider how it affects young people’s lives
• Articulate what happens in children’s brains when they’re dysregulated
• Consider self-regulation in terms of cognitive and emotional development
• Support the young children in your care to become better at regulating their emotions
• Apply calming strategies in your setting
• Help children to feel understood and regain control when overly emotional
• Take less time supporting individual behaviour needs
