Core Knowledge Areas	• Foundations of Early Childhood Education • Child Guidance and Discipline • Creating Environments for Young Children • Child Observation, Record Keeping, and Assessment • Curriculum for Early Care and Education • Child Growth and Development

Description
	Every baby is born with primitive reflexes(such as the rooting reflex) that help them survive in the early stages of life. Normally, over time the reflexes are "integrated" or fad away into the background of the child's movement repertoire. Unfortuntely, in today's world, this step of integration is not occurring in increasing numbers of normal children, and this brings challenges to their motor coordination, cognitive and social development. In this workshop we will learn to regognize the normal progression of reflex integration, how to support this process and what to do if it is not occurring. The Characteristics of individual reflexes will be covered. Fee: 135.00 some tuition assistance available
