The final touches on the lineup of topics have been made!
This event isn't a Zoom. It will be a multi-camera broadcast studio event that will feel like a TV production.
TOPIC 1: What Infants and Toddlers REALLY Need from You
What makes little ones feel safe enough to explore, connect, and learn? Discover the everyday teacher responses and interactions that build trust, confidence, independence, and healthy development.
TOPIC 2: The Amazing Developing Infant and Toddler Brain
Discover what is happening in the brain during these critical first years and why everyday experiences matter so much. Learn practical ways to strengthen brain development through relationships, play, movement, language, and responsive care.
TOPIC 3: From Crying to Connection: Understanding What They’re Telling You
Crying, clinging, fussing, turning away, reaching, pointing, and even throwing can all be forms of communication. Learn to read infant and toddler cues, understand what children may be telling you, and respond in ways that build security and connection.
TOPIC 4: Talk to Me, Sing, Read, Repeat! Building Language All Day Long
Language development begins long before the first words. Discover easy ways build communication, vocabulary, understanding, and early conversation during ordinary moments throughout the day.
TOPIC 5: From “Do It Again!” to “Let Me Try!”: How Tots Learn
Repetition, imitation, exploration, trial and error, and doing the same thing over and over are all part of learning. Discover how to recognize learning while it is happening and know when to step in—and when to stand back.
Plus 2 Bonus Topics
BONUS 1: The Child Who Changes the Whole Classroom
One child's needs or behavior begin affecting everybody. Other children imitate it, routines unravel, teachers become exhausted and the room feels different. How to interrupt that ripple effect while still meeting that child's needs.
BONUS 2: “Why Won’t They LISTEN?” Getting Toddlers to Follow Simple Directions
Why “Come here,” “Give it to me,” “Sit down,” and “Put it away” sometimes seem to go nowhere. How language development, attention, impulse control and the way adults give directions affect cooperation.
Format:
5-hour interactive webinar broadcast from the Appelbaum TV Studio to audience (like watching an interactive TV show packed with strategies for success, including video examples, music, and interactive audience involvement
