YOU'LL LEARN: The "serve and return" strategy that builds brain architecture in every interaction 5 play-based games you can implement immediately How to recognize when YOUR executive function is depleted and what to do about it Co-regulation strategies for common preschool scenarios How to reduce team conflict and increase team cohesion WHY THIS WORKS: This isn't just theory. You'll practice leading games, role-play real scenarios, and leave with micro-strategies that fit into your actual workday. You can't regulate a child when you're dysregulated.
