We'll talk about taking time to really notice children’s strengths and individual interests. This helps us reflect on who they are and how we can better connect with them. We'll visit reflective practice, define what a reflective connection is and explore a Thinking Lens Approach. The speaker will offer a profile of each source referenced in the presentation and provide the audience with handouts related to the highlighted concepts. We'll discover how capturing moments in time through photos and videos can provide insights into ways to enhance our relationships with children. Through discussions ignited by thoughtful questions this session will encourage the audience opportunity for both self-reflection and participation.
