In this episode, we explore the importance of using a positive tone of voice in the early years setting. As caregivers and educators, our tone of voice can have a significant impact on the children in our care. From greeting children in the morning to providing feedback on their work, we provide examples of how to use a positive tone of voice to create a supportive and encouraging environment.

This week we chat to Dr. Emma O' Brien, a Chartered Senior Clinical Psychologist about responsive parenting.

Responsive parenting refers to parents that respond to their child's physical and emotional needs consistently and is sensitive to their child's range of emotions.

Emma gives us some examples and goes into detail on how we can be more responsive to children as both parents and Educators.

We hope you love it!
