Listen and Observe: Tools for Communicating with Children

Charlotte Snyder

Description

Whether or not we’re aware, we’re always communicating, the children are always communicating. What is this child telling me? What — if anything — do I need to do about it?

What am I observing? How could I interpret this child’s behavior? Am I contributing to the challenge I’m trying to address? And, of course, verbal communication tools.

This video is a companion to the course “Following the Child Into the Future” available through Montessori Parenting.
