Dr. Amanda Morris will present an overview of how parents, caregivers, and educators influence children’s emotion regulation in the brain. The key themes that will be discussed are: (a) how adults’ influence emotion regulation across development, in infancy, childhood and adolescence, (b) positive techniques for responding to children’s emotional displays, (c) behaviors to avoid when interacting with children when they are emotional, and (c) how adults’ responses to children’s emotions impact later development and mental health.
