Facilitated by: Megg Thompson, Certified Behaviour Consultant
A team with caregivers and educators on the same page has the most potential for helping children be at their best. How can we talk to caregivers so we can continue to have open lines of communication and trust is strong? Parents are the child’s first caregiver and teachers are the second (environment is the third) so both parties are needed and essential.
What are the learning goals?
1. Educators will be more confident talking with parents.
2. They will know how to build trust.
3. They will better understand what language to use so parents will actively listen and be open to their message.
4. They will better be able to have harder conversations too.
