Sponsored by Housman Institute.
As early childhood educators and caregivers, you are the first point of contact for parents for all things related to their children. From “good morning” to circle time, snack time to nap time, potty training to lunch, curriculum to playground time – you are the captain of their child’s ship during school hours, and the one helping to steer their child’s journey, not only their learning journey, but their social and emotional journey as well. This is a journey that comes with significant needs, requiring the necessary navigation of myriad expectations. Parents need you, but you also need them. Only together can you build the essential bridge that must exist between home and school to guide children on the best path forward.
In this important and timely webinar, Dr. Donna Housman will help us to:
- Learn how to form trusting and positive partnerships with families right from the start to build strong partnerships..
- Discover how children develop emotional awareness and understanding through responsive relationships
- Explore the importance of a common understanding and approach from children’s key socializers
- Explore the best strategies for key consistent communication, common language, and active listening
- Begin to make a common plan, involve parents in each day, and set boundaries
- Understand how to provide reassurance with empathy and meet parents where they’re at.
Dr. Housman will be joined by early childhood educator Emily Stone for an important conversation on the role the essential home-school bridge plays in the classroom and at home.
All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
