Event Description:

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

Healthy human development depends on the young child’s ability to learn from their successes but also, and perhaps more importantly, from their own mistakes. Adults play a very special role in helping children understand their limits and in supporting them to safely get out of their comfort zone. 

In this 90min webinar, participants will learn what the disciplines of neuroscience and psychology have to say about the impact of positive and negative feedback on the developing child. Participants will also learn strategies to deliver constructive criticism to young children and to enable them to reach their optimal potential. 

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

 

Learning Outcomes:  

By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:

  •    Differentiate between positive, neutral, negative and constructive feedback  
  •   Identify the appropriate feedback strategy in consideration of the child’s characteristics and the context of the social interaction 
  •     Discuss the effect of different types of feedback on the child’s socio-emotional development 

 

  Recommended Participants: 

  • Anyone whose work requires direct interactions with young children, including (but not limited to):
  • Family support workers

  • Early childhood educators, kindergarten, primary, and middle school teachers
  • Social workers and social services support workers

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.
