“Professional Growth in Early Childhood Education” Public Lecture Series — Learning, Emotions and Everyday Challenges: Why Psychology Matters for Future Educators

2026-10-27

The Department of Early Childhood Education at EdUHK organises the public lecture series titled "Professional Growth in Early Childhood Education." The series will feature different industry experts, who will share and elaborate on various topics related to early childhood education. The content of these lectures is interesting and practical, and it can also facilitate early childhood educators, students, parents, and individuals who are looking for further education to learn about techniques and practical skills that can aid in the growth and learning of young children.

The Department of Early Childhood Education at EdUHK will host the second public seminar of this academic year during the EdUHK Info Day on 31 October. We are delighted to invite Educational Psychologist (CPsychol, HCPC registered) Dr Steffanie Ho. This might be the start of your journey as behaviour detectives! Instead of rushing to fix a child’s emotions and behaviour, you will be guided to look beneath the surface and decode actions as a child’s most powerful form of communication. Attend to discover how psychological science can deepen your understanding of the early years and shape your future career.
