Onsite early Childhood DVD’s are a valuable resource for every child care setting, covering a variety of topics and filled with innovative, yet very practical ideas to inspire staff of all qualifications and experience. The sessions also offer downloadable resources that can be used for both staff and families.

Session A: Taming the Beast – Support, guide and survive the challenging child
Duration 30 minutes

How committed are you in making a difference to a child’s behaviour?

This universal topic looks not only at the “tip of the ice berg” of guiding behaviour but delves deep down below the surface to discover the messages that the child is trying to send us. This session aims to support the early childhood professional move from the approach of simply reacting to a child’s behaviour to actually teaching the child how to develop responsible behaviour and independence. It explores a holistic approach of creating a profile on the child and developing collaborative teaching strategies to build positive outcomes for the child.

Session B: Productive Engagements with Dad’s in Child Care Centres
Duration 20 minutes

How Prepared is Your Child Care Service to genuinely engage with Fathers?

This provocative session shows that our good intentions when dealing with fathers in child care services can be a little off target at times. As the fathering role is changing it’s important that we re-look at how we interact with fathers within our child care centres. We provide exciting small projects and suggestions for you to implement easily into your service for the goal of engaging more Dad’s.
