Aims
The aim of the course is to encourage delegates to consider what is meant by self-regulation and co-regulation, and how these can be supported within provision.
Delegates will look at the connection between brain development and self-regulation. The session will also consider the different domains of self-regulation and the underpinning skills children need to be able to develop their self-regulation skills.
By the end of the session, practitioners will understand more widely their role in supporting children's ongoing development of self-regulation.
