SUMMARY:ENGLISH - Managing Adult Friction: Communication Tools That Actually Work
DESCRIPTION:You know how to de-escalate a toddler. But what about the co-teacher who keeps changing the lesson plan\, the director whose expectations feel unclear\, or the parent who’s upset at pickup? Effective communication with adults is a critical skill in early childhood education\, yet few educators receive formal training for it. In this practical\, fast-paced 90-minute session\, you’ll learn a co-regulation-first approach to navigating difficult conversations with confidence and professionalism through realistic role-play\, ready-to-use scripts\, and practical strategies. You’ll leave with an Adult Communication Cheat Sheet to help you apply these skills right away. \n\n\n\n\nThis training is FREE for participants that work in a Denver Preschool Program participating Center/Program\, and $20 for all others. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here \nPAY here

SUMMARY:ENGLISH - Mighty Movers: Supporting Gross Motor Development from Infancy to Preschool
