SUMMARY:Calming Connections: De-escalation Strategies for Child Care Providers
DESCRIPTION:Calming Connections: De-escalation Strategies for Child Care Providers \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this interactive and practical workshop\, child care providers will learn effective strategies for de-escalating challenging behaviors and fostering calm\, positive connections with young children. By understanding the root causes of frustration and distress\, participants will gain tools to prevent conflicts before they arise\, as well as techniques to safely manage and de-escalate situations when they do occur. This course will cover key concepts such as emotional regulation\, active listening\, non-verbal communication\, and the importance of building strong\, trusting relationships with children. Providers will also learn how to recognize early signs of distress\, create a calm and supportive environment\, and employ strategies that help children return to a state of emotional balance. By the end of the course\, participants will feel more confident in their ability to handle challenging situations with empathy and composure\, while also supporting children in developing their own emotional regulation skills. Ideal for child care professionals working with infants\, toddlers\, and preschoolers\, Calming Connections will help build a foundation for positive behavior and emotional well-being in early childhood settings. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Amy Stevens
