Powerful Interactions: Connecting with Children

This training will look at positive staff/child interactions and describe the three components of these interactions.  We will discuss the three parts of the brain and their function; look at why showing patience and support to children is so important; examine noticing and describing as forms of interaction.  Participants will look at obstacles to having powerful interaction with children as well as the keys to positive interactions.  Finally, we will discover the difference between everyday interactions and powerful interactions.
