As Nature Based Educators, especially for those working in Early Childhood, it is so important to help children practice social and emotional skills that will be necessary throughout life. If planted and nurtured correctly children will grow in important skills like problem solving, emotion identification, emotional regulation, empathy and more. Come learn nature-based mindfulness and self-regulation techniques to help guide students through their ever growing emotional awareness!
