About this Event
This make and take workshop provides care providers with a resource to introduce children to nature play through a hands-on and visual learning experience. All participants will be able to paint and take home their own creations.
Children are naturally drawn to colorful rocks, and care providers will learn how to create and paint their own Rock Stories to share in their centres. The workshop also includes techniques for painting that ensure the rocks can be handled and enjoyed without the colors fading.

Do you want to make a snowman? - Come join me in making a cone puppet snowman and learn about puppets. Research has showed that puppets can help by supporting children in expressing feelings that otherwise might keep dormant or suppress. Puppets can be a non-threatening way of expressing feelings, provide a playful environment and learn new concepts. Puppets can put a smile on a child's face.
Puppets help adults become silly, be a child again, and explore the unknown. Making a puppet can help adults de-stress and become creative.
So, bring your creativity and your sense of wonder and lets make a snowman together!

THE EMOTIONAL ROOTS OF AGGRESSION AND ANXIETY

Second Session: Faced with an epidemic of emotional health crises and behavioural problems, teachers are simply exhausted­ it's become harder than ever to lead and care for children and youth.

Reclaiming Our Students: Why Children Are More Anxious, Aggressive, and Shut Down Than Ever-And What-We Can Do About It, this workshop will support educators with trauma-sensitive strategies for how to build, nurture, and protect the student-teacher l relationship, even with the most difficult students. We will address
why children are displaying more challenging behaviours than ever, and what we can do to address these
issues at their root.
