Group time can be one of the most challenging parts of the day - for both children and adults. Why does it sometimes feel dysregulating, and how can we transform it into a space of safety, agency, and belonging?
Join Amy Chiu, MSEd, Early Childhood Education Instructor & Consultant at The Work of Play, for Rethinking Group Time: Supporting Regulation, Belonging, and Participation - a FREE webinar designed to help educators move away from compliance-based expectations and toward shared regulation, flexibility, and connection.
You’ll explore:
Why group times can feel overwhelming for children and adults, considering developmental needs and nervous system regulation
How adult presence, pacing, and expectations shape children’s participation and sense of safety
Relational, developmentally responsive strategies that support meaningful participation while honoring individual differences
Practical approaches to reduce power struggles and foster connection during whole-group experiences
