West Elementary School is hosting another amazing event for ALL parents in our district on Monday, May 12th from 6:30pm until 8pm. Childcare will be included for this workshop.

Please see the information below and if you are interested, there are buttons that will link you to register for the workshop & childcare.

FOR GROWN-UPS:

Presentation: Emotional regulation involves the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences in a healthy and appropriate way. Having adequate emotional regulation skills allows children to cope with everyday demands and challenges, navigate social interactions, and maintain mental well-being. For many children emotional regulation skills are acquired and learned in various ways. For children, however, who demonstrate neurodiversity, differential methods may be useful and/or necessary to support the acquisition, demonstration, and generalization of these skills. This training will highlight key considerations, and offer specific strategies, to develop emotional regulation skills in neurodiverse and neurotypical children.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to identify proactive strategies to reduce instances of dysregulation.
• Participants will be able to identify strategies to implement as early warning signs emerge.
• Participants will be able to identify strategies to increase the acquisition and generalization of emotional regulation skills.

FOR KIDS:

Mindfulness Work:

Learn some basic skills to help manage your feelings. Students will be working with staff members to practice some mindfulness strategies. Mindfulness is a technique that helps people stay in the present moment to avoid the anxiety that comes with worrying about the future and the past.
