From Attention to Connection: Responding to Challenging Behavior in Caring Ways 

When little children have big feelings, caring adults need to move fast. Changes in social behavior, eating habits and even extended bouts of sadness can compromise our ability to build smarter, stronger, kinder communities, one child at a time. But there are things we can do to help the youngest learners in our lives bounce back from challenges moments with joy, engagement, and drive. Join Erica Key, Founder and Chief Learning Officer of Learning Seeds, for an in-depth conversation with your friends at Sesame Street to explore effective strategies to support young children facing emotional challenges.  

In this webinar, we’ll explore how children can stay engaged in their learning environment, with concepts such as: 

• Exploration: Children can move about the room, and spend time thinking with the materials and activities 
• Interaction: Children begin receiving and responding to information about the rules, body language and facial expressions, and conversations happening with their peers 
• Imagination: Children begin understanding, asking about, and adding to the ideas the group is sharing
