We’ll also explore how to support newcomers with low English proficiency, sharing ideas to make spaces more inclusive, accessible, and joyful for all!”. Let’s collaborate to create programs that are inclusive, welcoming, and empowering for all children and their caregivers! 🤝✨

🎉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!
