Workshop 1: A Brain-Based Perspective

This interactive workshop builds a foundation for understanding how regulation and dysregulation influence development and behavior. Participants will engage in discussions and activities to learn how trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences impact the stress response system, support a child’s regulation needs, and tier-one regulation strategies for classroom-wide support.

Workshop 2: Tantrums and Meltdowns

This workshop uses a brain-based approach to understanding tantrums and meltdowns. Participants will explore their differences and learn how trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences affect regulation and the likelihood of tantrums or meltdowns. They will also learn how to support a child before, during, and after these events.

Also offered by Lakeside: The Lakeside Global Institute provides trauma certification for early childhood education environments.
