FEB Walking Alongside: Exploring Family Engagement and Supporting Parent-Child Relationships

Description

Designed for practitioners that work with children from birth to age five in home visiting, early intervention, in-home, or classroom early childhood programs, this workshop deeply explores family engagement and the parent-child relationship.

Attachment theory will be recognized in this session as the foundation for the parent-child relationship. Participants will explore research, and how to implement concepts like 'walking alongside' and 'Powerful Interactions' in their practice. Through a fair amount of reflective visioning, participants will explore what creates their own insecurities in developing relationships with families, and how these insecurities impact family engagement and supporting parent-child relationships.
