How to Talk to Kids
A lot of us wonder how to talk to kids so they can listen. What if we talked to kids so they could think and understand?
Language matters. The way we talk to kids shapes how they see the world, us, and themselves in it.
Join Althea and Mila as we introduce a practical approach to communication based on declarative language, non-violent communication, and nervous system regulation.
We know this method works because the foundation has helped many educators, has worked with our own kids, and has helped many families that we work with to overcome struggles and burnout.
You'll learn:
how to talk to kids to help them regulate and stay regulated
how to talk to kids when they don't like directives and resist being told what to do
how to give information as an invitation for exploration and creativity
This talk would be useful to parents and caregivers of kids of all ages, teachers and education specialists, and especially useful for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children.
