Understanding Your Child - 90 Minutes
Understand the Child, Not Just the Behaviour
Service Description
Children communicate so much through the way they play, move, respond and behave. This practical workshop helps the adults around your child better understand their current age and stage, individual interests, cues and needs — and how these can influence the way they play and interact. Rather than focusing on what a child should be doing, we look at the individual child in front of us. What We’ll Explore • Your child’s current age and stage • Individual interests and preferences • Understanding and responding to cues • What different behaviours may be communicating • Realistic expectations for their age • Attention and engagement • Supporting confidence and curiosity • When to help and when to step back • Following your child’s lead • Adapting play to the individual child Practical Element Because the workshop takes place in your home, we can relate everything directly to your child. We can look at how they currently play, the resources they naturally gravitate towards and how the adult responds during play, with practical suggestions throughout. What’s Included: • Pre-workshop questionnaire • 90-minute private in-home workshop • Personalised discussion around your child • Practical demonstrations and examples • Opportunity to ask questions • Simple strategies to introduce immediately • Digital workshop guide and key takeaways
