The Beckies chat with Hayley Rice Child Psychotherapist - and discover what do children and families need to thrive
b'
Here The Beckies are joined by Hayley a child and adolescent\\xa0 psychotherapist.
Hayley was a teacher who decided to understand and research further around supporting\\xa0 emotions in the classroom. She fell in love with play therapy and how to understand and support\\xa0 children.
Working with families and creating robust connections is so important.
With the child at the centre and building trusting relationships is always the place to start. We look at anxiety for children, perhaps running away, not wanting to go in. Hayley discusses anger as an anxiety and fear response.\\xa0 We explore children's behaviour as communication.
Don't often think of soothing when we see anger
have a listen and see what could help our responses as educators and families.\\xa0
Take a breath and feel into what is going on for you - soften ourselves and think how we are framing this.\\xa0 Respond and validate.\\xa0
Grab a cuppa and have a 10 min listen with us.
Thank you for listening and being part of this awesome early years educational environment creating spaces where all children are understood.\\xa0
