Early childhood educators have profound effects on children to enable them to explore and grow their capabilities by creating the relationships and experiences during early childhood years. During the session we will be reflecting upon how we realign educator(adult)-child relationships for a positive change. To do so we will be asking new sets of questions about behaviours of children by considering and learning the Self-Regulation (Self Reg) Framework. The Self Reg framework guides us to understand the role of stress and stressors on behaviours and brain body connection. We will untangle stress behaviour and misbehaviour and then share some strategies to support children to manage behaviours and reactions to the feelings and things happening around them.
