<p>Did you know that close to one in four children come from households with substance use disorder? Despite this statistic, few resources are available for early educators to tackle this very important reality of working with our youngest and most vulnerable children. In this episode, Stephanie Goloway, Professor of Early Education at the Community College of Allegheny in Pennsylvania, gives us insight to the importance of storytelling to develop resilience in young children by building relationships, encouraging initiative and promoting self-regulation.</p> <p>Resources mentioned:</p> <ul> <li>“<a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR_K4x3naLQ">Ordinary Magic on the Developmental Road to Resilience</a>" by Dr. Ann Masten</li> <li><a href="https://developingchild.harvard.edu/">Harvard University Center for the Developing Child</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Books-Vivian-Paley/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AVivian%20Paley"> Vivian Paley books</a></li> <li><a href="https://imaginationonthemove.com/">Imagination on the Move</a></li> </ul>

The Preschool Podcast, brought to you by HiMama, is a platform for learning from leading professionals in early childhood education. If you work in a daycare, childcare or preschool setting, The Preschool Podcast will provide you with both practical advice for managing your organization, center or classroom, as well as thought provoking content and insights about the field of early childhood education.

Each week, we chat with leaders in early childhood education, from teachers and educators in the classroom with innovative curriculum approaches, to directors who are excelling at empowering their team, and leaders outside of the child care environment that are passionate about making a positive impact on outcomes for young children.

Our goal with The Preschool Podcast is to provide knowledge and inspiration to the future leaders of early childhood education by speaking with experienced and insightful leaders in the world of preschool and early learning today. At HiMama, it is our belief that leadership within early childhood education is crucial to the future of the childcare sector and, of course, the future of our most important asset in this world, our youngest children.
