Course Detail: WELL-9049 - Clinical Strategies for Helping Parents Emotionally Attune to Their Children
Most parents intuitively understand that they need to provide physical care and guidance for children in learning the many motor and cognitive tasks in early development. However, many parents underestimate the importance of a child's emotional development and their role in helping their child to identify, make sense of and articulate their emotions.
This webinar will explore strategies for helping parents to emotionally attune to their children and adolescents in a way that promotes healthy attachment and effective emotional regulation. Attention will be given to understanding and working with the child's core emotional needs and avoiding common obstacles parents face in making attuned connections with their children and adolescents.
Learning objectives:
