Description
Meme Boham is an early years Montessori teacher. She has worked in the classroom and home for over 13 years. She has worked with hundreds of children in her career as an educator and seen them go through different phases.
This course will help parents and teachers with their understanding of the children in their care. They will have an understanding of their developmental needs, what their tantrums are really about and what they may be saying that they are not saying. This is a good way to help adults learn to respond to the children. When we understand them, we can respond to them. It is possible to have a calm, understanding relationship with the children in your care while at the same time, supporting their learning.
Over the last 13 plus years, I have observed young children and studied different techniques and methods to respond to them. From research and observation, I have been able to support children in different areas from behaviour to their learning and I hope some of the knowledge shared will help parents and teachers on their individual journeys.
I believe that understanding how children learn can help us to present the learning in a way the child will understand, enjoy and prepare them to become a life long learner.
On this course I will be sharing the things I have observed about children and the things I have observed about adults. You will learn about the different stages the child goes through. I will be sharing how to identify when they are exploring and how to support that exploration. You will learn to understand who your child is and how they learn. I will also be helping you identify your triggers, understand why those triggers come up and how to overcome them.
Who this course is for:
- parents
- teachers
- nannies
- childcare workers
