Synopsis

"Emotional Connections" translates new research on cognitive, social, and emotional development in the early years into the language of daily caregiving and teaching. The authors give trainers the information and tools they need to teach infant-toddler caregivers how to build responsive relationships with very young children and their families. The authors show how positive relationships are the context for helping babies and toddlers learn, communicate, and regulate behavior. "Emotional Connections" material can be used to supplement comprehensive training curricula, such as the Program for Infant-Toddler Caregivers (PITC). Ten modules present key concepts and offer exercises and activities designed specifically for adult learners. "The Emotional Connections Instructor's Guide" includes teaching strategies; activities; times required for each lesson; and a CD-ROM with printable handouts, worksheets, and overheads.
