Childcare workers, teachers, and parents: join author and educator Shauna Tominey to learn tools and strategies to help children practice emotional intelligence at home, school, and in the community.

From happy to sad, loved to frustrated, excited to discouraged, the daily emotional ups and downs children (and adults) experience impact our ability to build positive relationships with others, manage our behavior, make good choices, pay attention, and learn.

Shauna Tominey is an Assistant Professor of Practice and Parenting Education Specialist at Oregon State University, serves as the Principal Investigator for the Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative, and is the author of “Creating Compassionate Kids: Essential Conversations to Have With Young Children.”
