Building Emotional Intelligence in Children

A child’s world is constantly expanding which is an exciting time, but can cause some big emotions in times of change. Join us as we explore building emotional intelligence in children to support healthy growth and development. This webinar aims to highlight the importance of emotional regulation, a foundational skill that helps children manage and respond to feelings in healthy and adaptive ways. Emotional regulation can also support children in being able to navigate frustration and manage their thoughts. In this talk we will explore: How the brain responds to challenging situations How to identify and discuss feelings Strategies to support emotional regulation (e.g. mindfulness) Books and resources to engage children in continued exploration of emotional intelligence Facilitator: Julie Stirling
