Communicating with children unpacks the significance of honouring children’s voices, emphasising the educator’s role in seeking and amplifying the child’s voice in partnership with families. This book also highlights the importance of creating spaces where children are not only seen and heard but also valued as active participants in their learning.

Description

Children’s voices come in many forms—verbal and non-verbal cues and behaviours. Children’s behaviour serves as a vital form of communication, conveying emotions, needs and thoughts. It is crucial to view and understand children’s behaviour as a mode of expression rather than defining their identity.

Educators must advocate for children’s voices, recognising it as both their right and a means to support emotional development, resilience, self-regulation and awareness of their impact on those around them. In curriculum decision-making, daily interactions and reflective practices, prioritising children’s voices is vital for providing a holistic and supportive learning environment where children can thrive.
