Connecting with Families Using their Child’s Behavior as Language

Explore the power of using the behavior of a child as our language with families and providers through observation, narration, and the invitation to parents to offer their perspectives on their child’s development. Learn how putting the child’s behavior into words with the child can also be used as a tool to support healthy social-emotional development. We will discuss strategies providers can use to deepen their partnerships with families and support child-family relationships using a strengths-based lens. This lens is critical to supporting children who are experiencing overwhelming emotions that might show up as behaviors that challenge adults.
