"Growing Up in a Stressful World: Supporting Vulnerable Children & Their Families" workshop
The Central New York Coalition for Young Children with Special Needs will be offering the following workshop as part of its 2009-2010 Pizza Series:
"Growing Up in a Stressful World: Supporting Vulnerable Children & Their Families" with Mona Ivey-Soto, PhD, MSW, Assistant Professor of Education and Child Studies, Cazenovia College. The workshop will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2009 from 4:30 - 8:30 pm at Jowonio School, 3049 E Genesee Street, Syracuse, NY, 13224. The cost of the session is $25 and includes dinner (pizza and salad). Registration information is available by going to the website: www.cnypreschoolcoalition.org or by calling Jowonio School: (315) 445-4010.
Workshop Information:
Have you ever asked yourself, "What's going on with that child?" or "What is it that makes her who she is?". Key dimensions to understanding children, families, and ourselves include the examination of temperament and the "goodness of fit" model. These constructs provide a framework within which to prevent and address behavioral concerns of children. Understanding more about who children are allows us to fully support their development and strengthen the relationship that exists between caregiver/educator, children, and their families. Background research on temperament and an examination of some childhood disorders (anxiety, attachment disorders) as well as practical strategies for intervention will be presented.
Presenter Information:
Mona Ivey-Soto, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Education and Child Studies at Cazenovia College, who prides herself on being a passionate advocate for multiculturalism and inclusion and has carried her message of breaking down barriers (race, religion, ability, social class) into her teaching and community work as a social worker in cities across the country. Her clinical work and research has been on early childhood mental health and she has worked in policy and leadership in the Office of Head Start in Washington, DC.
Blessings,
