Exploring Schemas and Behaviour in Early Years: Insights and Strategies

In this session, we'll delve into the fascinating world of schemas and their impact on young children's behaviour. Drawing on research and practical experience, Dr Stella Louis will share strategies for identifying and supporting children's schematic play, and explore how this can inform approaches to behaviour management. We'll examine how understanding schemas can help early years practitioners create environments that promote engagement, curiosity, and self-regulation, ultimately supporting children's social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Learning outcomes:

  • Learn about the connections between play, relationships and behaviour
  • Learn how every adult in the early years can support engagement and regulation
  • Gather insight from and for practical experience 

Suitable for: early years members, including support staff
