Embarking on New Adventures: Supporting Children Facing Change –
February Forum Educators, how would you support a child sobbing for
hours as they separate from family? What would you do if a child is so
uncomfortable with the routine, they refuse to come to lunch? How
would you support a child who becomes aggressive when wanting to play
with others? If you are unsure how to support children in these
scenarios, then this forum is for you! Educators working with young
children have a vital role in ensuring that each child feels a strong
sense of belonging and wellbeing. Whether the child is beginning care,
changing rooms, moving on to formal schooling or facing other new
adventures, change can be difficult. What skills will help each child
cope with the changes they face in their early years? What skills and
attributes will support the child as they progress through their
school years and beyond? This forum will arm educators with the
knowledge and strategies they need to support children as they learn
