Separation Anxiety & Attachment

Suitable for all early learning professionals and parents.

This workshop will help people working with children in their early years understand separation anxiety. Discussions will focus on the importance of building secure attachments to support young children, and practical ways to foster secure attachment between children and their caregivers. Attendees will also learn fun, evidence-based strategies to help young children (and their families) better manage separation anxiety.
