Rhythm, Regulation, and Relationships: Building Emotional Literacy and Self-Regulation for Young Children Through Music and Play - 37443

When children feel connected, they are ready to learn. This full-day workshop aligns the core structures of Conscious Discipline with the dynamic toolkit of Sing.Play.Love to create a joyful, connection-first, early learning classroom culture. Participants will discover how to turn circle time into a powerhouse for executive functioning, language acquisition, and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on demonstrations, participants will master techniques for co-regulating with students, guiding pretend play, supporting impulse control during group routines, and partnering effectively with caring adults at home to nurture resilient, thriving young children.
