Brain Development and Learning Consent During Childhood November 7, 2023
Adults want children to grow up with healthy relationship skills. Learning to respect others’ feelings about touch is called empathy-based consent. In this training you will: a) understand the skills involved in respecting consent b) learn the developmental connections between childhood empathy and adult actions c) learn brain science findings on empathy and the optimal developmental window to acquire it d) learn about primary prevention strategies beginning in early childhood to prevent child sexual abuse and perpetration. You will receive practical steps you can take to teach children empathy-based consent. This training is for infant through after-school teachers. * Vermont Social Workers will receive 2 CE credits for attendance.
