Today I got asked a great question. Rachel, what do you mean when you say connection? My favorite phrase when working with young children’s behavior is connection before correction. Connection is the building or maintaining of the relationship beyond the descriptives of “mother” or “son” and “daughter”. It’s the building and maintaining of the trust and love that you have with each other. Because when we build connection, we build confidence that the young child is still loveable and wanted through their hard feelings. #InfantMentalHealth #EarlyChildhoodMentalHealth #PostiveBehaviorTechniques #EducatorMentor #ParentMentor #Behavior #behaviormanagement #EarlyChildhood 🌻 🫶🏼
