In this session Susan will explore with examples\, tools and s trategies the different Self-Reg early childhood learning journeys that ma ny of us are on and speak to practical steps that we can take today to inc orporate Self-Reg into our early childhood centers. The Self-Reg journeys are:\n1.

Quilt - how Self-Reg supports quality pe dagogy in the early years and\nexploring play-based learning and inquiry\n Session 3: Nurturing Self-Reg Havens\nA Haven is not only a place.

In a Haven\, everyone feels safe in every way: p hysically\, neuroceptively\, emotionally\, socially and culturally. In a H aven\, Self-Reg frames all and where values come before action plans.
