Couneslling and interviewing children- George Aguze, LWF, 23 June 2015.pptx
Counseling involves a planned intervention between a counselor and child to help the child address and resolve difficulties. The counseling process begins with identifying the child and problem, building rapport, exploring the problem, formulating goals, implementing a plan of action, and ending the process with follow up. Key principles of counseling include establishing trust, confidentiality, self-determination, a positive approach, empathy, and focusing on the child's feelings and perspective. When interviewing children, the process should be made less scary by finding a quiet place, allowing time, listening, observing non-verbal cues, and having other children present if needed for comfort.

CHAPTER 4
Building an Anti‑Bias Education Program: Clarifying and Brave Conversations with Children
Everything teachers do—setting up the learning environment; planning the curriculum; observing, assessing, and thinking about individual children; and so much more—rests upon establishing strong, caring, and trusting relationships with children and families. Without such relationships with their teachers, children find it hard to open up, to learn, to grow, to feel safe. These relationships are built onSeeing each individual child as a member of a unique family with many, often complex, social identities that shape their learning and ways of beingRespecting each child’s individual way of learning and being rather than imposing an expected behaviorKnowing how children learn to think and how they are, and are not yet, able to discern what is happening around themUnderstanding that children are in the process of learning at all times and that it takes many experiences before they master an idea or a behaviorListening carefully to each child to understand how each is making sense of experiences and/or behavior
An essential element in building strong relationships is your willingness to engage in conversations that support children’s sense of self, that let them know they are safe and honored exactly as who they are. Children live in a world that sends multiple, stereotype‑laden messages about their comparative value, their right to be visible, and how they are expected to behave based on their economic class, ethnicity, gender, abilities, racial identity, and religion. These overt and covert messages affect their own sense of self‑worth and how they think about people who are different. Avoiding conversations about identity and fairness is a disservice to children who are developmentally dependent upon adults to help them make sense of the complex and contradictory societal messages they receive.
When programs do not demonstrate respect for and acknowledgement of human diversity, children and families cannot feel truly seen or honored. When a teacher avoids directly addressing comments or behaviors that can hurt another child, no child feels safe. Keeping silent not only does not help children, it actively hurts them. Learning how to break this silence, how to talk about anti‑bias issues with clarity, courage, and caring, is an essential skill not only in the world of early childhood education but in the world at large. This chapter explores ways to build trusting relationships with children by directly talking about identity, diversity, injustice, and activism, which correspond to the four goals of ABE.The Hurtful Power of Silence
It is hoped that children will turn to their trusted adults when they are confused or are hurt by their experiences. But to do so, children need a vocabulary to describe what they are thinking. Too often, adults ignore children’s attempts to understand how people can be different from one another and yet the same. A Whit ...

This document discusses activity-based learning and the benefits of play for early childhood education. It defines play as activities that are child-led, interesting, fun, and chosen by the child. The most learning occurs through uninterrupted free play. Play helps children develop cognitive, social, physical, imagination and other skills. Learning through play can provide continuity between early education levels and help with transitions. There are benefits to both adult-led and child-led play, and the role of adults is to observe, interact, challenge thinking, and add resources to extend learning. Activity-based learning encourages independence, social skills, enhances memory, expression, continuous engagement, ability variability, and motivation.

Parents can help children ages 3-5 develop impulse control by suggesting words for feelings, making clear that hurting others is unacceptable, helping solve problems through sharing or turns, responding to misbehavior with words, and modeling self-control during stress.
