Facilitator

Dr Kate Williams is a lecturer and researcher in the School of Early Childhood at the Queensland University of Technology and is also a registered music therapist. Kate’s research focuses on children’s development of self-regulation and the parenting, educational, and intervention contexts that support this, along with the developmental outcomes associated with children’s self-regulatory functioning.

Description

In this course, you will focus on how to help children learn to manage their own attention, emotions, thinking, and behaviour. Self-regulation develops rapidly in the early years, through experiences and relationships that shape brain development. What can you do to support children to develop these critical skills?

Learning Outcomes

In completing this course, you will:
- Discover why self-regulation is a critical skill that develops in early childhood and underpins all future learning and wellbeing
- Explore the educator’s role in supporting self-regulation development through reflective practice, strong relationships with children and families and embedding self-regulation support strategies into all aspects of planning and the curriculum
- Examine how play, the use of language, group games, and music and movement experiences can all support children’s self-regulation skills.
