A Picture's Worth a 1000 Words: Using Visuals in ECE to Foster Connection and Cooperation

How do you get young children to listen? Is it a magic phrase, a potion, or simply a picture… Perhaps young children do not yet have the tools they need to SEE what adults are saying. Could it simply be that children under 5 are not ignoring but not “seeing”?
In this session, participants will see how and why young children think in pictures. Using Conscious Discipline Powers and Skills, they will learn how to incorporate visuals into their own classrooms and just how powerful a tool a picture is for brain development and learning.
