Lecture and Discussion- Participants are encouraged to make the workshop more relevant to their concerns by asking questions.
DESCRIPTION:
Focus is on helping adults understand how ignorance of developmentally appropriate practice with children leads to destruction of their self-esteem; and conversely, how this understanding can help adults create a nurturing esteem-building environment for children.
