From Dr. Aletheia: ‘The best moments for any educator are when children take charge of their own learning and experiences. How can we ally with even the youngest child to help them create their own challenges and solve their own problems? To do so, we must hone our ability to observe sensitively, to be attuned to the young child’s perspective and needs. This workshop will visit the principles and practice of sensitive observation when working with infants and toddlers. You will be guided through a series of activities, videos, and discussions to sharpen your skills with this essential practice. Our goal is for you to feel alive to your lens, language, and attitude as a sensitive observer.’ Sign up link here: https://events.humanitix.com/the-young-child-s-point-of-view-observing-infants-and-toddlers
