We understand the importance of social and emotional competence for children but in the beautiful words of Dr. Brene Brown, we can only love others as much as we love ourselves and we can only have as much compassion for others as we have for ourselves. Dr. Brene Brown and Dr. Vanessa Lapointe are psychologists who have asked us to have the courage to reflect and have conversations about our childhood to better understand our own biases to care giving. We each have our own triggers and bring to our practice pieces of how we were raised. Let's talk about these things together and connect to Early Years in a safe, supportive and compassionate way.

Objectives:

  • Explore Brene Brown's research on empathy, shame, guilt and vulnerability.

  • Discuss Vanessa Lapointe's latest book Parenting Right from the Start and relating it to child care.

  • Learn how feelings and emotions can help us understand how to take an empathetic and relationship-based approach to care.

Suitable for students, parents, adult instructors/administrators, novice, intermediate and experienced early care and learning professionals working with children of all ages, from infants/toddlers to school age children, including children with extra support needs.

We are all guests in the training room. In an effort to maintain a safe and welcoming environment, we ask that we follow these guidelines:

  1. Respect people’s choices, experiences and feelings.
  2. One person speaks at a time.
  3. Participate actively by including your voice and make space for other voices to be heard.
  4. Respect confidentiality, what is said in the group, stays in the group. Speak in private with the instructor if necessary.
  5. Assume the best intent. This is a space to learn and sometimes that means making mistakes.
  6. Take care of yourself, whatever that may look like.
  7. Mute your microphone to reduce background noise and unmute it for group discussions, to comment or ask questions.
