This workshop will offer the opportunity to reflect upon principles that guide and influence the actions of the adult in supporting the development of concentration.
To question how we support the child in their capacity to choose and what implications does this have on the child as they travel along the path to normalisation.
What are the different types of choice that we may observe in our work with the children and consequently how does this impact and influence our responses.
We will also reflect upon the development of concentration and how we can best support this to flourish and deepen. The role of the adult in offering appropriate individualised challenges plays a tremendous part in this process.
How do we know what to offer? How do we take the child to the point of concentration? What are the developmental guiding principles that steer our actions and responses.
All of this will be very much based from the standpoint of theory into action. As such the delegates will leave with lots of practical advice, reflection points for both themselves and their interactions with the children.
