Emotional Regulation in Kids: Providing a Foundation to Manage Big Emotions
January 30, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Children aren’t born knowing how to manage emotions or express feelings in appropriate ways. And when children don’t understand their emotions, challenging behavior can arise. This webinar will help you find ways to create healthy connections with kids, understand how to calm the child’s nervous system, and teach you skills to practice.
Fine print: Certificates of attendance are provided at no cost. CEUs are not provided. Everyone who registers will receive the webinar recording & resource info 24 hours after the live event. Webinar sponsored by Polk County Iowa’s Behavioral Health & Disability Services agency.
