January 15: Setting the Stage: Promoting Social-Emotional Health in Young Children

Social and emotional development, a critical aspect of overall brain development, begins at birth. Social-emotional skills are nurtured through daily routine, language, and play. They are the foundations of social competence that affect a child's ability to adapt in school and to form successful relationships throughout life. This workshop on social and emotional health provides parents and professionals tips and tools for helping children in these critical areas. This workshop is designed for parents and professionals of children, from birth through kindergarten entry.

Extension Extras for Professionals is a collection of free online series of childcare workshops that provide guidance for early childhood professionals and caregivers of young children. Trainings are eligible for MIRegistry hours.

Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.

Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.

If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
