How should we communicate with children - how do we enable children to thrive

Today Becs and Becky chat about how everyone in education has a huge responsibility to communicate kindly with children and importantly we talk about the ways children really shouldn't be spoken to or treated.We discuss the need to be professional and use our research based practice.  Communicate how we would to our friends, if a friend did something you thought was wrong what would you do ?   We are the holders of children's wellbeing now and in the future, so we must practice with careful and kind communication and we must make sure that the environments we work in reflect this. Really value getting to know the children. We know shouting at and shaming  children is wrong and we have a duty to do something about this, be the person that makes the difference, be the child's advocate and challenge unkind and unprofessional behaviour. Enable children to feel safe, to be loved and to thrive ... the way forward is with you.Thank you for listening and being part of this amazing educators community And remember we really are here for you if you need support or to chat just email [email protected] We offer one - one communication and play sessions for childrenThriving Language CIC training consultancy early years and communicationThriving Language Podcasts Apple, Spotify, Amazon and Buzzsprouts Published Speech and Language in the Early Years - Creating Language Rich Environments - Routledge 2022.Grab a cuppa and join us for a ten min listen, it might just be the best thing you hear.We had a great time at Dr Mine Conkbayir book launch and highly recommend her latest book The Neuroscience of the Developing Child Self-Regulation for Wellbeing and a Sustainable Future  it will bring the research needed for educationalist and families to understand what is actually happening for the child and their brain development when we use outdated practices such as time out, shaming and shouting plus so much more,  so discover and see why we always say educators truly are #brainscientists Creating environments where all children are understood Head to  www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk to discover more with The Beckies.Training for educators, key note speakers and workshops, one to one sessions for speech language and communication  play sessions for children and families.Publications Routledge:Speech Language and Communication in the Early YearsSpeech Language and Communication for Healthy Little MindsEmail [email protected] you for listening and being part of this awesome Thriving community who empower all children to be understood. Love The Beckies
