21TRA541 SUPPORT A CHILD IN A TIME OF STRESS – HOW CHRONIC STRESS CAN HAVE A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON A CHILD’S ABILITY

Chronic stress impacts a child’s physical and mental health, ability to problem solve, and ability to self-regulate behavior, attention and emotions.  These difficulties are often misidentified as behavior problems and are responded to with discipline which can exacerbate the problem.  In this webinar, we will discuss how chronic stress can impact self-regulation and ways to support children at home and in the classroom so that it has less of an impact on their performance.

What you will learn:

• How chronic stress can impact on a child’s ability to control behaviour
• How stress is often misidentified as poor behaviour and wrongly disciplined
• Ways to support children to self-regulate at home and in the classroom
• How to reduce the effect of stress on a child’s performance
