Intentional Language-Understanding the Words we Use with Children
By evaluating the phrases children are being told daily, parents and care providers understand the impact of their words. This workshop looks at ten common expressions adults use with kids. Discovering language flaws and finding ways to better express ourselves supports healthy relationships with children. Avoiding the pitfalls in communicating with children is the primary focus of this exciting session.

Reframing Our Mindset on Challenging Behaviors
Presented by: Alyson Grzyb
Behavior does not define a child. Behavior is a form of communication and a symptom of life experiences. As early childhood educators we can make a world of difference by responding in a manner that helps to meet children’s needs, helps to build supportive and trusting relationships, and results in more positive outcomes. In this training we will explore children’s behaviors and adults responses to those behaviors through video, discussion and brainstorming. We will practice self-reflection and use our personal experiences to make us better educators moving forward. By the end of the training, participants will be able to look at responses to children’s behavior and determine which are the most appropriate and supportive, as well as reflect on their own experiences in order to more consciously and appropriately respond to the children in their care.

Learning to reword and deliver your ideas can make for a win/win environment.
