Event Description: 

This webinar is the first of our four-part series, Active Empathic Listening for Professionals.

Being able to put oneself in someone else’s shoes is a critical skill believed to be fundamental to a thriving society and the survival of the human species. Young children have a heightened capacity for empathy, provided they are given the opportunity to observe this skill in others, and to safely practice it in interactions with their significant others. 

In this 90min webinar, participants will learn how to use conversations to strengthen young children’s innate propensity for empathy. Participants will also learn about the key scientific neuroscience and psychological evidence pointing to Active Empathic Listening (AEL) as a powerful practice to teach empathy in the early years and beyond.

Certificates of participation will be provided to those who complete the live webinar.

Webinar Series Description: Active Empathic Listening for Professionals  

Communication between adults and children in the first years of life is crucial for healthy child development and family dynamics. And listening is recognized as one of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents, as expressed in Articles 12 and 13 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Listening to young children is easily overlooked within the family, school, and community contexts, which undermines the ability of young children to meaningfully participate in matters that are important to them.

This webinar series introduces professionals who interact with young people and their families to the concept of Active Empathic Listening (AEL), and provides evidence-based information on the life-changing impact of this dimension of human communication on many aspects of a child’s development. Participants will also learn how to practice AEL when interacting with young children and their families.
