49: Little Bodies Big Feelings
<p>Why does one child seek constant movement while another covers their ears during everyday activities? Just as adults experience and respond to sensory input differently, children have unique sensory preferences and needs, too. </p><p>In this episode, we explore common sensory disruptions and how they may impact children's behavior, learning, and interactions. We'll discuss practical strategies for recognizing and interpreting sensory cues, helping you better understand what children may be communicating through their actions. You'll also learn ways to identify when additional supports or interventions may be beneficial. </p><p>Join us for a conversation filled with insights and tools to help you create responsive environments that support every child's sensory needs.</p>

48: An Introduction to Risky Play in ECE
<p>In this episode, we explore the benefits of risky play and why opportunities for challenge, exploration, and manageable risk are so important for children’s development and regulation of their nervous systems. We discuss the six elements of risky play, simple ways to begin incorporating risky play in an ECE classroom, and practical tools to support implementation. This conversation is led by two of our STARS coaches after completing the Embracing Risky Play course through Canada's Outdoor Learning School and Store and facilitating a provider community of practice focused on risky play.
