The Future is Emotionally Intelligent!

How do you respond to the emotional child beyond behavior charts and positive discipline? Can you build comfort in experiencing a feeling and learn how to express in a prosocial manner? How do you foster children's coping strategies to last a lifetime, moving away from temporary coping mechanisms? When is it time to problem solve? Now, how do we do this in everyday life with children as we bring our biases and social programming to the table?

We know that emotional development is at the cornerstone of learning, that children need to process emotions before they are ready to absorb content, but there hasn't been a "how to" guide for building this development, until now.
Alyssa Blask Campbell, founder of Seed & Sew, works with folks to dive into the Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, a process she co-created. She also works with the Phases of Emotion Processing in order to build the adult's mindful practices for responding to emotional expressions in a healthy way.

We can't expect children to engage in social relationships without supporting their emotional development. In a world where social/emotional learning is heavily focused on the social aspects, developing the emotional intelligence and sensory regulation gives the child confidence to communicate and navigate a complex world with resiliency.

Campbell will be speaking at the Waterbury Public Library on Wednesday, May 11th in the Library's SAL Room from 6-7:30. She has a masters in Early Childhood Education and is a leading expert in emotional development speaking around the globe.
