Building sustained relationships with children and families that matter: connection, bonds and nourishing
Presented by: Anthony Semann
It is easy to profess a commitment to relationships and their importance. This is a cornerstone of quality practices. However, 2020 has caused much disruption to seamless relationships and has also placed a strain on these. So, what would building a song connection and bond with families and children look like? These relationships take time and require strategy and focus.
In this webinar, we will explore concepts of reciprocity, nourishment and deep connection. We will traverse ideas and suggestions that can be implemented as we enter another year of educational practice.
We acknowledge that funding was received by the Foundation of Graduates in Early Childhood Studies.
