Promoting the Positive Racial Identity of Black Infants and Toddlers in Early Childhood Programs

We know that the first 1,000 days are a sensitive period in children’s development, but did you know that the early years are also important for positive ethnic-racial identity? Positive ethnic-racial identity is protective and promotive for children’s healthy development - especially children from racially and linguistically minoritized families and communities. Unfortunately, this is an area rarely discussed and educators who care for and teach babies are undervalued and receive low compensation. In this webinar, participants will examine how Black families and their babies have been dealing with two pandemics – COVID-19 and racism.

Webinar: Beyond COVID 19 – Preparing to Support Children Through the Transition Back

With families sheltering in place for months, we have all been dealing with a whole new reality. For many children this was an opportunity to spend quality time with their families. For others, whose families may have been struggling to make ends meet, wonder if they still had a job, or deal with medical crises, this may have been a very stressful or even traumatic time. When you re-enter your classroom you need to be emotionally strong and ready to support all of the children who will be counting on you. In this webinar, participants will consider their own stress level and ways to build resilience, identify the impact of this unprecedented stress on children’s behaviour, and develop strategies to scaffold the children’s social, emotional, and physical needs when they return.
