Join Childminding UK and Karen John PhD, for an engaging and interactive FREE Members Evening exploring how a deeper understanding of children’s needs can support equality, cooperation and wellbeing in your childminding setting.
FREEChildminders provide children with a secure, homely base where they can develop, learn about themselves and others, and make sense of the world around them. This close, consistent relationship puts childminders in a unique position to observe children, understand their individual needs and respond with empathy.
In this interactive two-hour session, developmental psychologist and Adlerian psychotherapist Karen John, PhD, will introduce the Crucial Cs - a developmental framework for understanding children’s basic psychological needs from birth onwards. You’ll explore what may sit behind challenging behaviours and consider how understanding children’s emotional needs and goals can help promote positive relationships, cooperation and wellbeing.
