   The biology and development of our brain has become the latest of "hot topics" in how to work with children and families. We have a lot of theoretical information and are trying to understand how to implement these theories in our everyday work with children. This workshop will discuss the theory and then give the Practical Applications that we can use everyday with children and families. Participants will learn creative ideas for de-escalating children, helping them regulate their emotions, and identifying what is driving their behavior.
