SUMMARY:Mindfulness in Early Childhood: Practical Strategies for Immediate Use
DESCRIPTION:Join the Office of Childhood Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) and Early Intervention Technical Assistance (EITA) for their webinar “Mindfulness in Early Childhood: An Overview with Practical Strategies for Immediate Use” to learn about key phrases and techniques that reduce stress and increase awareness in early childhood education. \nAbout\nThis webinar will provide a general overview of mindfulness with a strong focus on how you can use key phrases and techniques in your professional life and in working with families to support stress reduction and an increase in awareness.

Additional resources will also be shared that will enable you to move forward in your own journey of exploring mindfulness. \nRegistration\nInterested individuals can register to attend the live webinar on the following dates: \n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 21\, 2020 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.\nThursday\, April 23\, 2020 | 1 – 3 p.m.\n\n\n\nTo register and learn more\, visit the event webpage.
