A child's future success depends on a positive sense of self.
At LENA, we believe the foundation for healthy self-regard is built by increasing adult-child interactions.
Webinar:
Growing Confident Learners
Wednesday, May 14, 1 p.m. ET
If a child's sense of self affects academic and lifelong outcomes, how can we set them up for success in their earliest years? It all begins with a conversation.
In this webinar, we'll pair theory with classroom experience, hearing from a panel of esteemed experts in early childhood development and education. Together, we'll explore:
- How a positive sense of self contributes to the personal and cognitive growth a child needs for future success
- The challenges early childhood educators face in providing the responsive relationships that foster a child’s self-esteem
- The vital roles parents, educators, and administrators play in laying the groundwork for growing confident learners
Join us for conversation featuring Dr. Kyle Pruett, Dr. Barbara Stroud, and Eva Jenkins from LENA's Community Advisory Board. Hosted by President and CEO of LENA, Steve Hannon.
