Based on the Strengthening Families™ Initiative, this training focuses on how to promote social and emotional competence in children through meaningful interactions with families.

Competency-Based Learning Objectives
Participants will:

1. Discuss how parents and caregivers can promote the key elements of social and emotional competence of children (trust and attachment, autonomy/independence, emotional regulation and self-control, relationships with others, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-confidence, persistence and resilience).
2. Review the importance of attachment in developing social and emotional competence in children and discuss what they can say to parents to nurture and strengthen secure attachments with their children.  
3. Discuss differences between inappropriate and more developmentally appropriate interactions in the “Another Way to Do It” activity.
4. Identify how their program’s everyday actions currently build and could further build social and emotional competence of children.
