Webinar: Supportive Perspectives for Children and Families Under Stress
Designed for Early Childhood Educators and Parents of Young Children
As the Coronavirus forces us to change the way we interact and engage in the world, we are likely to experience stress and anxiety, and potential trauma. However, opportunities exist to recognize stress early and nourish the minds and souls of individuals and families. This webinar with Dr. Beth Gonzalez-Dolginko offers a brief overview of trauma and shares how the art of children can help us identify when children are experiencing stress or trauma. Includes specific reactions children have to stress, and how their artwork can give parents and educators a window into the feelings of young children.
