FYI Corner
Parents and Providers can help develop healthy eating habits for children
Here are a few tips to help children learn how to make healthy food choices.
Keep a wide variety of healthy foods in the house. (Dont buy junk food.)
Encourage water as their beverage choice.
Eat slowly and serve family style meals for your family.
Involve children in gardening, food shopping and preparing meals. (Children may be
more willing to eat or try foods that they help grow and prepare.)
Plan for snacks. Continuous snacking may lead to overeating.
Discourage eating meals or snacks while watching TV.
Try not to use food to punish or reward your children. Telling children that they will
get dessert if they eat all of their vegetables sends the wrong message.
Kids imitate the eating habits of the adults around them.

PCAN #3 - Social-Emotional Development for Infants, Toddlers, and Teir Families RC
Encountering challenging behaviors in infant-toddler child care is inevitable. Such challenges can pose a signifcant dilemma
for the child care professional who may struggle with how best to respond to a child who may be preverbal, who does not use
logic, and/or whose memory cannot yet retain rules or limits over the long term. Challenging behaviors in children can also
evoke strong emotional reactions in child care professionals, who respond to such incidents in a sensitive, supportive, and
nurturing fashion. Tis training provides participants with the opportunity to refect on their own beliefs and feelings regarding
challenging behaviors, to learn more about some of the antecedents of challenging behavior, and to practice discussing such
challenges with parents in an efective and supportive manner. Parents Welcome.

WestEd - Temperaments of Infants & Toddlers - Bev Adams RN
To create nurturing relationships with children, caregivers need to become aware of the feelings, expectations, and attitudes they
bring from their own past experiences, particularly in childhood. In this class, participants will have an opportunity to explore
their own temperament traits and how both their temperaments and a childs may infuence the relationships in the group care.
As part of responsive caregving, an awareness of temperaments can help the caregiver create a good ft with each child in her/his
care.
Reno County: 9/20. 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm (2 hours)
Working with Temperaments
Infants come into the world with diferent temperament tendencies that play a major role in their behavior. Te relationships
that develop between infants and their caregivers, both at home and in child care are strongly infuenced by temperament. In
order for every child in a group to thrive, caregivers need an understanding of temperamental diferences and the fexibility to
meet each childs temperamental needs.
Flexible, Fearful & Feisty
Te relationship between an infant and his/her caregiver is at the heart of quality infant/toddler care. In this class, caregivers will
learn information that will help them provide sensitive, responsive care to each infant/toddler in their group. Caregivers will
learn the responsive process of watch, ask and adapt. Although the responsive process is broken down into three steps, when the
caregiver is really responsive, the three actions are simultaneous and fuid. Getting in tune is a process that can be learned.

WestEd - Emotional Development of Infants & Toddlers - Crystal Franks SU
Infants experience a series of distinctive social-emotional stages as they grow. Tis class addresses the healthy emotional
development of children from birth through age three and the types of early experiences that are necessary to nurture this
growth. It provides the platform on which caregiving skills in fostering emotional development can be built. By understanding
these stages, caregivers can better support each childs developing sense of self, relationships with others, understanding of social
rules, and ability to work out feelings through communication and creative play.
Emotional Development in Infants & Toddlers
Infants and toddlers go through distinct stages of emotional development. Te emotional grounding attained in early stages
provides the foundation for the development in later stages. In this class, participants will examine six components of emotional
strength that may be observed in infants and toddlers: Capacity for intimacy; Self esteem; Impulse control; Understanding the
distinction between reality and fantasy; Imagination, creativity and curiosity; Empathy and acceptance of loss.
Te Developing Emotional Strengths of Children
Support for emotional growth and development in infancy is one of the most important aspects of a caregivers job. A genuine
caring for the infant or toddler will naturally lead many caregivers to behavior that facilitates this area of development, such as
being warm or admiring the childs new abilities. However, an awareness of the many facets of emotional development and
what specifc behaviors in adults can support this development can help all caregiver in fostering emotional development in
infants and toddlers.

and being aware of how our past experiences afect our present interactions with infants/toddlers and their families.

Tis indicates that the training or combination of multiple trainings equal a module. A module
is 6-7 hours of professional development that are related in topic and build the participants
knowledge on the subject matter. In most cases, it is not required to attend all sessions to receive
a certifcate, but highly recommended. Participants will receive a certifcate for the sessions of the
module they attend.
What is this?
Learning Styles of young children is based on the multiple intelligence theory that expresses the belief that all children possess at
least eight unique intelligences through which they are able to learn new information. Although all children possess all eight, no
two children have them in the exact same amounts. Addressing childrens learning styles through a variety of unique experiences
allows children to better understand themselves as lifelong learners, and to see how others acquire knowledge and apply their skills.
Teachers of young children will be presented with skills in which they can immediately apply in their child care setting to encourage
the development of learning styles by providing enrichment opportunities in each of the areas of a childs intellect. Tis will be a
fun, informative, interactive, useful workshop for all!
