Practitioner Training
Supporting children's development through understanding, not just behaviour.
Every child develops differently, and understanding that development can make a real difference to how practitioners respond, build relationships and support learning. My practitioner training combines child development, emotional development, and executive functions with practical, evidence-informed strategies that help early years professionals better understand the children in their care and feel more confident in supporting them every day.
Training can include
Two-Hour Practitioner Training
A practical, engaging training session designed specifically for your setting. The content is tailored to the age of the children you support and focuses on understanding development, looking beneath behaviour and building confidence in supporting children with additional needs.
Topics can include:
-
Understanding child development
-
Looking beneath behaviour
-
Emotional development and self-regulation

Executive function skills

ADHD and autism in the early years

Discussion & Reflection
Every early years setting is unique.
Throughout the training there will be opportunities to discuss your own experiences, ask questions and explore situations that arise within your setting. This helps make the training relevant to your team and the children you support.
