What Does Typical Social Development Look Like at 18 Months Webinar

What Does Typical Social Development Look Like at 18 Months?

First Bridge Education is excited to announce our FREE webinar: “What Does Typical Social Development Look Like at 18 Months?“.

Every child develops at their own pace, but there are key social milestones that typically emerge around 18 months of age.

This webinar is for parents and carers who want to better understand what healthy early social development looks like and how to recognise when something might need closer attention.

You will learn:

What typical social and emotional behaviours look like around 18 months
How toddlers begin to show connection, curiosity, and engagement with others
What might indicate a delay, and what is not necessarily cause for concern
How to observe and interpret your child’s interactions at home and in nursery
When to consider seeking advice or early support

This session is ideal if you are wondering whether your child’s social development is on track, or if you simply want to better understand this important stage of early childhood.

Join us for a grounded, reassuring guide to one of the most crucial (and sometimes confusing) stages of early development.

Presented by our School Principal and Clinical Director, Mikaela Green, MSc., BCBA, this webinar is perfect for:

Early Years Practitioners & Educators
SENCOs & Inclusion Leads
Childcare Providers
Health Visitors & Allied Health Professionals
Parents and Carers interested in child development
Local Authority and SEND professionals

Join us online on Thursday, September 17th at 6 pm!
