Key #2 How Do We Give Children A Strong Start? Know the Key Emotional Milestones

This workshop focus on the important emotional milestones caregivers can help children achieve as the foundation for positive mental health.

Key #3 Why Do Children Act the Way They Do? Understanding How a Child Is “Wired”

This workshop will examine how children are genetically “wired” with temperament traits that make each child’s reactions to the world unique and how these reactions impact their emotional development. Participants will also discuss their own temperaments and examine strategies for applying a “goodness of fit” model that fosters positive mental health for all children.
