Sesame Street Workshop: K is for KC Kindness
This annual conference is an initiative designed to offer strategies, tips, activities and
professional development for providers to nurture parent-child relationships that, in turn,
help children become school-ready, increase physical and emotional well-being, and
develop the resiliency to tackle life’s challenges. This year’s conference explored how caregivers and teachers can help children recognize and regulate their emotions.
