Our 2-hour workshop "The Art of Challenging Conversations with Families" will help to:

Identify why information may be difficult for educators to share and difficult for families to hear.
Plan ahead for how to effectively share information with families.
Clearly share information in a way that actively involves parents in the discussion and is sensitive to their feelings and perspective.

This workshop is suitable for professionals who work with children, including early childhood educators, primary school teachers and allied health professionals.
