In this evening session Jo Lange shares insight and strategies on the importance of relationships and the power of engagement in guiding children’s behaviour in the years from 3 to 5.

Drawing from the core principles of the VEYLDF, this session explores positive approaches and planning, advocacy and the empowerment of children, effective communication strategies and safe learning environments with reference to children’s behaviour. The session will equip participants with skills and knowledge to create caring and compassionate environments where children’s wellbeing, learning and development are supported as children develop restorative practices to manage their emotions and conflicts.
