How to Effectively Implement Positive Solutions for Families
This presentation is a paradigm shift from traditional philosophies and attitudes for social and emotional learning for children birth to 5 years. This teaching model incorporates parents as partners with SEFEL trained professionals to provide a highly effective early childhood model. Research tells us that baby’s and young children’s communication of emotions and needs establishes the learning pathways in the brain that lead to all other physical, cognitive, and emotional learning. The first step in this model is Building Positive Relationships. Children learn and develop in the context of relationships that are responsive, consistent, and nurturing. The second step is designing supportive environments for young children. Considering the needs of children is crucial in reducing obstacles in and around their environment. This includes utilizing visual schedules, consistent routines, and clearly communicated expectations. The third step is teaching/developing social and emotional competence by providing the support to children in learning to express their emotions and to begin to develop friendship skills. The final step is the tools for individualized intensive interventions. It is teaching babies & young children new skills to replace challenging behaviors. This holistic approach also incorporates a variety of factors that impact on a child, families, and the child’s behavior. These interventions will support families and professionals in addressing babies & young children’s communication of emotions and other needs which in turn establishes the critical learning pathways in the brain.
- For attendees to experience the paradigm shift from traditional philosophies and attitudes for social and emotional learning.
- For attendees to develop skills to use the 4 steps in the Social and Emotional Learning model.
- For attendees to acquire tools and resources for implementing the model.
