SUMMARY:Feelings Behind the Mask: Building Emotion Vocabulary
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning strategies to expand children’s feeling and emotion vocabulary? Join Trying Together on September 30 for our online session\, “Connections and Conversations: Feelings Behind the Mask: Building Emotion Vocabulary.” \nAbout\nConnections and Conversations Virtual Check-Ins are biweekly interactive sessions that highlight topics of interest to the field of early childhood education. Participants engage in virtual discussions with child development experts while interacting with early learning practitioners to share questions\, experiences\, and expertise about the highlighted topic. Sessions offer one hour of PQAS credit. Act 48 credit will not be provided. \nIn this session\, participants will learn about strategies to expand children’s feeling vocabulary in order to support their abilities to correctly perceive and respond to feelings in themselves and others. Identifying and expressing emotions are key skills in a child’s development. Children need a large and complex feeling vocabulary to make finer discriminations between feelings\, to better communicate with others about their internal affective states\, and to engage in discussions about their personal experiences with the world. \nSession Details\n\n\n\nSession Date: Wednesday\, September 30  |  6 – 7 p.m\nInstructor: Nancy Loughead\nCKC: Curriculum and Learning Experiences\nCDA Subject Area: Social & Emotional Development\nRegistration Deadline: Monday\, September 28\n\n\n\nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the course PD Registry page.
