This event addresses: COVID-19, Children

The global pandemic has had a devastating impact on the social and emotional development of young children and their caregivers in early educational settings. Children at different developmental levels experience the multiple stresses caused by the pandemic and its disruptions in different ways. How do we differentiate between developmental symptoms and necessary adaptations of young children in an educational setting? This program will emphasize the power of relationships as a tool to move development forward. It will offer helpful strategies for clinicians and early educators to address the developmental lag we observe in this post-COVID era.
