5 | 6 6:30 pm-8:30 pm October 6, 2020 Through supportive relationships, infants and toddlers develop a sense of trust, learn how to interact with others, and how to eventually express empathy. Strong, nurturing relationships are key to healthy development for infants and toddlers. This professional development event will explore social emotional development within the context of relationships. Participants will learn how the process of getting in tune with children allows providers to offer responsive care, which in turn helps infants and toddlers form secure relational attachments. Secure and responsive relationships help young children to develop a strong foundation from which they can explore their environment. ****This is a virtual workshop**** Zoom links will be emailed prior to the event.

| 27 | 28 | 29 6:30 pm-8:30 pm October 29, 2020 Toxic Stress and Its Impact on Children Stress is a fact of life, no matter your age. Some stress is good for us – it keeps us attentive, sharp, productive, and learning. But Toxic Stress affects brain development and learning in young children, and can have long-lasting effects. This session will help participants define stress responses and understand the difference between “tolerable” and “toxic” stress. We’ll look at the long term effects of Toxic Stress and investigate practices for mitigating those effects and promoting resilience in young children. ****This is a virtual workshop**** Zoom links will be emailed prior to the event.
