Summary

Positive, nurturing relationships with children form the foundation of all learning and development in the early childhood years. Understanding how appropriate interactions can build these relationships is the focus of this session. Participants will explore what it means to be “connected” in the classroom, and learn about verbal and non-verbal dimensions of communication and interaction. We will examine and reflect on how our own emotional reactions to children can affect our ability to build connections. We’ll discuss the seven components of appropriate interactions, and practice our new knowledge by working through several “real-life” scenarios
