As a caregiver, you may be the first person to notice a difference in a child under your care. Sharing those concerns with families can be nerve wracking and you may not know how to approach the situation. In this training, we will go over when to talk to parents about concerns and strategies on how to share those concerns. In addition, we will examine your own emotional response as a caregiver, as well as understanding parent’s reactions and how to support them and yourself.
Learning Objectives:
1.) Recognize when to share concerns with families.
2.) Identify strategies on how to share those concerns with families.
3.) Understand your own emotional response.
4.) Understand the family’s response and how to support them.
This training will also include an informative presentation from 6-6:30pm about Help Me Grow, a comprehensive system that promotes universal early identification of behavioral and developmental delays and fosters linkage to intervention, ensuring all children achieve their greatest potential.
