Born For Love
with Penny Davis, CPDLT
Description:
This workshop will look at attachment and the roots of empathy…how young children learn to be empathic, and how we, as parents and teachers, can help or hurt this process. Participants will learn about the basic building blocks of brain structure and will be engaged in activities that can be used with young children to encourage the development of empathy.
