Discussions with Parents
Join Vincenza Gruppuso, Ph.D. for an informative and insightful workshop on establishing and maintaining a good relationship with the parents of the children in your setting. Vincenza will give you ideas about how to have a supportive relationship with the families in your care, whereby a foundation can be set so that you will be able to discuss difficult topics with the parents with confidence. Later in the day, Vincenza will also discuss how to approach parents respectfully when you believe a professional assessment of a child in your care may be required.

Rough & Tumble Play
Many child care providers struggle with children that appear to be aggressive and all they want to do is wrestle and fight. So, what do we do with those children? Do we nag them to death with words like “gentle hands” and “we don’t play like that” or do we start to question our practice as educators? Is wrestling really a form of violence or a physical release and sport? This workshop will explore one centre’s journey around rough and tumble play. Join Meagan Brame in an exploration and dialogue of the fears many have with this type of play.
