Description: This course examines interaction skills and environmental structures that foster social and emotional growth in children birth to eight years. Areas of emphasis include the positive development of a child’s self-esteem, implementing equitable, culturally responsive, and inclusive anti-bias approaches, and trauma-informed practices through which teachers can optimally support relationships that value children and families.
