Babies are constantly growing in every way, but social-emotional development is at the center of it all. This training provides content on how infants and toddlers build their sense of self, and how that translates to behavior that can be confusing to their caregivers. PLC sessions provide the opportunity to learn strategies for supporting babies’ social and emotional needs, in the context of current health and safety guidelines.
