The ability to resolve conflicts, especially with peers is a core component of social competence during childhood (Joshi, 2008). Everyday conflicts can be turned into teachable moments and we can be intentional about developing skills in ways that are playful and engaging. This webinar will highlight the importance of developing mindfulness skills in the children you serve as the first step towards conflict resolution. Then you will be introduced to several activities that you will be able to facilitate in your program to improve conflict resolution skills.

We all want to create welcoming environments where disabilities are viewed as a natural part of life. When your program says that it is “for all,” what does that mean and what does it look like? To create welcoming programs, we first need to assess what respect for disabilities looks like. We can then explore ways that we can teach children and youth in our programs to respect disability as a form of diversity. In this webinar, we will look at how we can use language and our interactions to model respect, and how we can use targeted activities to build a community that respects disabilities.

Did you know the #1 topic KIT makes recommendations about is self-regulation? We often talk about self-regulation and coping skills interchangeably, but are they? And why is it that so many of the children and youth you serve seem to need help with self-regulation? Join us to learn what self-regulation is and how you can contribute to supporting self-regulation in your classroom or program. Note: this course is an overview for all ages. Additional topics will be available in the coming months for age-specific self-regulation practices.
