Social Emotional Development...
You've heard about it...Why is it so important?
Your child needs to learn to lead (have their own ideas) and also to be led (follow instructions). They also need to communicate their actions and their needs. Communication assisting in buidling friendships when a child can be in the playground and identify to their peers what game they're playing, what they're about to do and to invite others to join.
What about Language & Communication Development?
Just imagine what it would be like to not be able to express your needs?
Before we can talk, we need to learn what language is and we need to find ways to communicate. If we don't learn that, we find our our ways (sometimes unhelpful ways) to communicate. Children who find unhelpful ways to communicate feel misheard and often get in trouble when they find alternative ways to express their needs. At Inspire Co, we believe that communication is key.
How are the techniques used by Inspire Co different?
This might blow your mind (or seem a little left of center) but stay with me here...
We DO NOT try to get your child to stop doing unwanted behaviours...
You say what??...
What we do is read the developmental message behind the behaviour and then support you to build on that developmental need, in turn reducing the unwanted behavious (Yes, we do believe kids come with an instruction book!! We just need to read it differently, then learn how to help them in their own way, using their own strengths.
​
We often view problems only as difficulties and overlook the possibility that lies within to learn new skills. Problems allow us to discover what skills we have not yet developed. Mastering problems creates opportunities that improve the quality of one’s life.
