Course Overview

No matter what you want a child to learn, the first step is ensuring that he’s ready to learn it. If you work with young children who have self-regulation difficulties, they may not be able to enter or maintain the calm and alert state that supports them to learn. They may seem excitable, distractible and difficult to engage, and their learning progress may be slower than other children.

Taking a step back to understand and address a child’s regulation difficulties can make a significant difference in his or her progress in other areas. The Pathways to Promoting Self-regulation e-Seminar gives you a practical framework for recognizing difficulties with regulation, identifying possible factors that could be contributing to these difficulties, and using Hanen strategies to help children along the path to improved self-regulation.

The 2-hour e-Seminar is divided into 3 parts:

Part 1 – describes how self-regulation develops, and how you can identify the signs of regulation difficulties
Part 2 – shows you how to identify contributing factors that may be causing regulation difficulties and slowing down a child’s progress in other areas
Part 3 – offers practical strategies for supporting self-regulation and involving families

Learning Highlights

This e-Seminar includes many learning supports to maximize your understanding, facilitate group learning, and support your ability to implement the content in your day-to-day work. These include:

Contrastive videos – examples of children who are in a dysregulated state and then in a regulated state to help you understand the factors that help a child self-regulate
Self-reflection questions – these are included after each part of the seminar to solidify your learning and help you think about how it applies to your daily work
Group discussion questions – These questions stimulate group discussion on how the information can make a difference to your practice
Printable reference sheet – Contains key guiding points to support your implementation of the framework
