Helping, sharing and comforting behaviors are observed in children in the first two years of life. What happens afterwards? This session will explore how developing attentional and behavior control capabilities, as well as social development, come into play in modulating prosocial behavior. Prosocial behavior is present all around us, in and outside the classroom, and gaining a better understanding of what comes into play can help educators feel comfortable implementing social and emotional regulation strategies for their students.
Target audience: Teachers and educators PreK-12th grade, including teachers focused on special support needs.
