ECI's Fall Speaker Series focuses on Supporting Infant/Toddler Mental Health

Title: Infant/Toddler Educators' Mentalization-Related Talk Across Classroom Contexts

Join us to learn with Dr. Holly Brophy-Herb, Professor of Child Development at Michigan State University, Editor of Infant Mental Health Journal, and Associate Editor of Infancy.

Infant and toddler educators play a significant role in very young children's understandings of emotions and other mental states (e.g., thoughts, preferences, intentions). This talk will focus on educators' mentalization-related talk in play, mealtime, and booksharing moments in Early Head Start classrooms.
