Whether we are supporting children, caregivers, or colleagues, attunement is a powerful mechanism to build attachment. The series will be offered in both English and Spanish over three days.

Days 1 and 2 will focus on the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) approach; a tool to attune to caregivers, colleagues, and ourselves.

Day 3’s morning will focus on the incredible power of relationships and social interactions as the first fundamental building block of development and utilizing this to empower caregivers confidence in supporting growth and development in the early years.

Finally, the series will culminate with a special workshop entitled “Cooling Down with the FAN” where we will explore our own sensory profiles and ways in which we can use the concept of Mindful Self-Regulation to feel present and balanced in interactions.
