Free NDNA factsheet of the month - Supporting Children’s Emotional Well-being
Supporting children’s emotional well-being is central to caring for and educating young children and babies. At times it can be challenging for practitioners and parents alike to understand how best to support children when they are upset or anxious. It is vital that children’s emotional needs are effectively met from an early age by sensitive, knowledgeable, caring adults so they can learn to self-regulate and develop emotional resilience to help them cope with everyday life in the future.

The course could be completed flexibly, in my own time and when it was convenient with my schedule in nursery. I could take a break and return to the training material and my progress was saved.
