This 3-hour 15-minute FREE virtual seminar will explore how the development of social-emotional skills first begins with the fundamental understanding that children need supportive relationships to develop the capacity for self-regulation. Diverse cultures impart to children how to manage and regulate emotions, socialize, and engage with others, but the effects of trauma and adversity can derail that transmission.
