Calming Connections: De-escalation Strategies for Child Care Providers

Calming Connections: De-escalation Strategies for Child Care Providers: In this interactive and practical workshop, child care providers will learn effective strategies for de-escalating challenging behaviors and fostering calm, positive connections with young children. By understanding the root causes of frustration and distress, participants will gain tools to prevent conflicts before they arise, as well as techniques to safely manage and de-escalate situations when they do occur. 

This course will cover key concepts, including emotional regulation, active listening, nonverbal communication, and the importance of building strong, trusting relationships with children. Providers will also learn how to recognize early signs of distress, create a calm and supportive environment, and employ strategies that help children regain emotional balance. At the end of this course, participants will feel confident in their ability to support children through difficult situations with empathy and compassion, while also supporting the child to develop their emotional regulation skills.  This class is designed for professionals who work with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.
