Simulation - Relationship-based Practices: Talking with Families about Developmental Concerns (ECLKC)

Description:

As we get to know the children and their families in our program, we share their joys as well as their challenges. And sometimes there’s a child who we feel worried about. Maybe it’s something about their behavior, or maybe their development and skills. We all know it can be challenging to talk about worries like these with parents. But we also know how helpful intervening early can be when we have a concern. We’re going to look at raising a concern with a parent about their child’s development. Having a challenging conversation with parents is about engaging them in a collaborative process of observing their child together.

It is recommended that you complete the simulation in one sitting to maximize your learning. Each module in the simulation should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
