Turning Obstacles into Opportunities: Navigating the Tough Stuff

Description

The Collaboration for Early Childhood is delighted to present its 13th annual Symposium.

Turning Obstacles into Opportunities: Navigating the Tough Stuff is this year’s theme. The only constants in life are problems; obstacles that are dreaded. These obstacles hamper our ability to move from point A to B smoothly. If we look at obstacles as opportunities we can look at these challenges in a different way. Our day covers the tough topics like development, temperament, staff, stress, communication and more. Come to change your mindset; instead of more problems, more opportunities. We expect you will walk away with many hands-on activities and ideas to use immediately with those you play with most often.
