Course Brief

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills are readily modeled, nurtured and strengthened in early childhood. Very young babies demonstrate empathy and children, constantly watching and mimicking the actions of the adults in their lives, are uniquely impressionable as they develop social and emotional skills and attitudes that will likely inform the rest of their lives.

Therefore this developmental stage provides educators and parents with a particular privilege and responsibility: to embody and model compassion, understanding, accountability, choice, and integrity.

Join this three-day interactive workshop to better understand foundational EQ skills and concepts and how to develop useful tools in this impressionable age group. Expect to participate, interact and reflect as we practice and refine key developmentally appropriate lessons to build emotional literacy, empathy, consequential thinking, and agency.

This workshop is also well suited for educators, counsellors, and parents, providing skills and concepts that help the child’s support team communicate more effectively, respectfully holding one another mutually accountable, align actions with values, practices with intentions, providing more ease, joy, sustainability and coherence in bringing forth the overall emotional and social growth of the child.
