Webinar Highlights
Little kids experience big emotions
With so many changes happening in our world, children may be more worried, frustrated, and bored than ever, and they may not yet have the words to describe them.
When emotions are strong, children may behave differently
When children feel anxious, upset, or bored, children may behave in new or challenging ways. Teachers might not see these behaviors during their meetings, but families may see changes at home.
Children need our help
As adults, it is our job to help children connect what they are feeling with language, no matter where they’re learning from. In this webinar, we share ways to help children recognize and describe their emotions in any learning setting.
