Seeing Your Child’s Strengths First: Webinar

Deficits. Delays. Challenging behaviour. These words can appear again and again in reports, assessments, and conversations about your child. But you know your child is so much more than the things they find hard. 

In this webinar, Catherina from EmPlay joins us to shift the focus. She’ll share how building on your child’s interests and capabilities can positively support their sense of self and development. 

In this webinar we’ll explore   

• The power of recognising your child’s strengths, interests and capabilities. 

• Seeing the whole child, not just behaviours and challenges. 

• How the words children hear about themselves can affect their self esteem. 

• Why child-led, strength-based approaches can encourage your child's learning and development.
