This session will cover why children behave the way they do and strategies that we can use to support their healthy emotional development. Emotions underpin all behaviour and can have a big impact on the way children act and react. If we can better understand and respond sensitively to children’s emotions, we can help them to regulate their behavior more effectively. Linking with ideas from neuroscience, this session explores techniques such as emotion coaching and problem solving and helps us to understand our role as a parent in accepting and validating children’s emotions.
The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) is a government entity, based in Abu Dhabi, that supports holistic early childhood development. We do this by developing policies and laws, informing decision-making through research and transforming behavior.
