Outdoor play can happen in any season, but we need to be prepared and know how to best plan these sessions. During this lunch and learn, we will talk about the importance of outdoor play, how to communicate these benefits, as well as how to model best practices.

The topic of this session will be Food! Do you think is there something such as “picky eaters” or this could be related to sensory integration and child development?
Come to discuss with other leaders’ ideas and challenges about food and get a fun recipe for your program. Take a sneak peek of our Wiggle, Giggle and Munch’s Food workshop.
Our first Networking Peer group session will be on June 18 at noon (until 1:30) via Zoom.

🎉Wiggle, Giggle and Munch Workshop Level 2
Nurturing Well-Being & Boosting Self-Regulation: Fun Strategies to Co-Regulate and Enrich Your Programs!💖
Self-regulation is a skill that develops over time, deeply connected to brain development, and shaped through meaningful interactions and co-regulation with others. It’s a challenging but essential process, and we’re here to help make it easier—and fun!
In this in-person workshop, we’ll explore strategies to support children in building self-regulation skills while fostering emotional well-being. You’ll discover new books that help children name and understand their emotions, expanding their emotional vocabulary in creative and engaging ways. Plus, we’ll dive into games, activities, and songs designed to make learning these skills enjoyable for both children and adults.
This in-person workshop is open to all agencies that can benefit from well-being and self-regulation strategies for working with children. It will include new books, games, activities, and songs designed to support these strategies.
Whether you’re a WGM leader or part of another organization, you’re welcome to join and gain valuable insights!
Cost:
$10 for downtown serving agencies
$30 for those serving outside downtown Winnipeg
