Moving through a Child’s Mind:
Rediscovering How We See & Understand Children

A Weekend Seminar exploring the methodologies of Project Commotion and Professionals in our Community 

Saturday and Sunday,
April 12 & 13, 2014

Picture
Join us in celebrating the Week of the Young Child, with a full weekend of learning through movement, relationship-building, observation, and self-examination. If you have attended a PC workshop before, you know this will be an educational experience like no other! Parents, teachers, students, and professionals will benefit from this great opportunity to explore how we learn about ourselves and our environment, how to see children through a lens of brain development and sensory awareness, and how we can shift our understanding into practice in our daily lives with children.

CURRICULA
This year's training segments will include:
• Connecting with others through Movement and Play
• Understanding ADHD diagnosis from a Child Psychology perspective
• Nutrition for Building Healthy Brains
• Exploring Our Body and Our Space with Awareness Through Movement®
• The Impact of Socio-Dramatic Play on Social-Emotional and Cognitive Development
• Art-Making as an outcome of Learning: How to use Movement and Visual Design for Deeper Understanding

Attendees will receive training materials and a certificate recognizing their participation in 10 hours of professional development.

WHAT TO BRING
- Participants should dress comfortably in clothes that allow for movement.

- Snacks and drinks will be provided on both days. We recommend that participants bring their own lunch for Sunday’s training.
