ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
Keeping our children not only happy but active and regulated has become a common concern among parents, especially with the ongoing pandemic restrictions in school and in the community. In today’s world, children often spend less time engaging in sensory and motor-based activities due to the impact of 21st-century technology. Children learn best and retain the most information when they engage their senses. Providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through movement is crucial to brain development. This webinar will explore creative ways to keep our high-energy children regulated and support their growth and development in the home and school environment.
ATTENDEES OF THIS WEBINAR WILL:
- Understand why we see changes in behavior due to being indoors for an extended time.
- Gain increased confidence in identifying and changing the home and school environment to help children thrive.
- Learn practical ways of implementing individualized and family support strategies.
