This course is designed to help caregivers identify interactions that build secure relationships, understand the root of challenging behaviors, and set limits that reach children and support the development of their self-regulation skills. In the second half of this course, we will discuss ACE's. The majority of children in early learning programs experience some adverse childhood experiences. It is important for the professionals who care for them to understand the impact of trauma on development and to cultivate strategies that build children’s resilience so that they are able to succeed. This course will also address compassion fatigue and emphasize the importance of caregiver self-care to reduce the impact of secondary trauma.
