Webinar – The secret world of scribbles

Expert webinar led by Mary Rose Brady Recorded webinar – available immediately Have your crayons at the ready – it’s time to talk! This webinar offers early years practitioners a clear and engaging understanding of children’s drawing development and the vital role art making plays in emotional, social, and neurological growth. Led by Mary Rose Brady an art therapist with over 35 years’ experience in the field, this partly experiential session explores how art supports sensory-motor development, language acquisition, pro-social skills, and self-regulation, and how children’s drawings can be understood as meaningful communication rather than “just scribbles”. Drawing on sensory development, neuroscience, polyvagal theory and attachment theory, this webinar bridges theory and everyday practice, supporting practitioners to feel more confident in using art as a relational, regulatory and developmentally attuned tool in early years settings. Learning objectives Gain an increased understanding of the importance of sensory-motor development in supporting children’s language acquisition, emotional expression, and learning. Develop greater confidence in understanding children’s drawings as meaningful communication, linked to neurological, sensory, and attachment-based development. Learn, through experiencing two simple, art-based exercises to support self-regulation, emotional safety, and connection with children in early years settings Audience This workshop is aimed at professionals working with young children, either as a childminder, in nurseries, schools or ELCs.
