Presented by Amy Groessl, LCSW, PhD
For children to succeed and learn over the long term, they rely on a positive nurturing relationship with key adults in their lives. This session will address parent-child attunement, which is the ability to recognize, interpret, and respond to a child's needs in a sensitive and consistent manner and is essential for children who struggle with self-regulation as they attempt to process the world around them. Additionally, the session will address caregivers' own stress and emotional well-being, providing tools for self-regulation and resilience to support both the child and the caregiver in navigating these challenges together.
Learning objectives
At the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
Describe strategies to promote emotional attunement between parents and children.
Utilize strategies to enhance communication and connection within the parent-child relationship.
Practice mindfulness exercises to enhance present-moment awareness and responsiveness.
