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. In addition\, the intent is to provide access to these same tools to reduce the burdens and stressors faced by the families with whom you work. \nThe key component will be to focus on “attention” and “the now” as it pertains to the space between what is happening in the moment and your response. The ability to become aware of our emotions and regulate the manner in which we respond will support the work that you do on a daily basis. Opportunities will be afforded for self-reflection and the application of these tools in the future. You will leave this webinar with practical strategies and resources that you can implement immediately. 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. Both webinars will be recorded and made available for viewing on the Pennsylvania Family Support Programs website.
