Participants will explore core concepts in the social and emotional development of young children including emotion regulation, behavior, and mental health. This workshop will emphasize a relational perspective when discussing applications of workshop content. Anxiety, for children and adults as well, will be explored in terms of goodness-of-fit between the developing child, teacher-student and family relationships, and environments in which children learn and grow.
