We Need to Keep Fighting
Nothing comes easy and some days everything seems to be a fight. Our biggest “fight” is overcoming the
resistance and forces that keep us from being our best. The silver lining is that we get to choose what to
fight for, where to direct our passion. During this session, we will reflect on the idea of what it takes to
keep fighting and become all we are meant to be (and not give up!).

May 4: Meaningful
Promoting the Right Stuff
One of the primary professional responsibilities of early childhood educators is the responsibility to plan
and implement intentional, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for each child served.
But what does it mean to be “developmentally appropriate?” Let’s talk about the best ways to support
growth and development and how to promote the “right stuff” for young children. Discussion will also
include an overview of Week of the Young Child and the importance of being advocates for the early
years.

May 11th: Mindful
Take a Deep Breath
Children of all ages can benefit from mindfulness. Mindfulness can help children improve their abilities
to pay attention, to calm down when they are upset, and to make better decisions. In short, it helps
with emotional regulation and cognitive focus. But, mindfulness is a big concept for young children to
understand. This session will answer the questions: Why is it important for adults to be models for
mindfulness? How do we teach mindfulness to young children?
