SECA invites you to register for "What to Do, When it Feels Like a Zoo!" Changing the lens on how we view and respond to acting out behaviour, with Simmy Zaret.
During this interactive on-line workshop, we will investigate the underlying roots of some of the most common negative behaviors we see in our centres, homes and classrooms today. Together we will explore the means to address the triggers, unpack Erik Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development, and discover how to replace frustration with effective, compassionate, and supportive management skills that will promote and maintain a safe, peaceful, and productive place to learn and play. Through engaging activities, demos, and discussions, you will acquire an array of practical strategies that can prevent or defuse disruptive behaviors, while bringing a loving sense of joy, productivity, respect, and calm into your program.
