Creating environments where children can thrive
In an increasingly busy society, many children are going to bed later, having difficulties with self-regulation and spending less time engaging in physical activity. What effect is this having, what are we seeing and what can we do to ensure we are setting the scene to enable the resilient child?
This Saturday workshop will provide participants with a range of insightful provocations, practical skills, and techniques to inspire change and promote children vitality.
A five hours session with two parts to the day:
Part 1
- Identify the current state of children’s health (0-12yrs) in Tasmania and the role we can play to enhance children’s physical health
- Identifying and incorporating fundamental movements into children’s play and learning
- Strategies for physical activity in any early and middle years setting
Part 2
- Environments that support rest and relaxation
- Understanding the nervous system
- Techniques to support self-regulation
- Strategies for embedding self-care
This workshop will leave you with:
- a range of strategies and responses to children’s physical and emotional needs.
- understanding of the learning opportunities for your program to promote children’s wellbeing.
- knowledge of body mechanics and mechanisms to support children’s development.
