Early Childhood Educator Series: Curiosity and Consent in Early Childhood (CTLE-2)
Young children often have questions about and want to explore their body parts and the bodies of others. In this interactive workshop, participants will develop strategies for fostering children's feelings of comfort about their bodies while setting limits to help children develop a
sense of boundaries. Participants will explore what it means to help children develop healthy relationships and will learn strategies for teaching consent, respect, and encouraging children's sense of bodily autonomy.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will...
1. Learn strategies for teaching consent, respect, and encouraging children’s sense of bodily autonomy
2. Building a culture of consent in the classroom, connecting this to dismantling the patriarchy
3. Develop strategies for fostering children’s feelings of comfort about setting limits with their bodies
4. Facilitating children’s ability to name and describe their own bodies and choose how they want to use them
NYS Teachers will receive 2 CTLE credits for successful completion of this live virtual session.
