We focus on teaching adults how to activate children's development through attunement in the everyday relational moments.
We provide professional development programs that prioritise social and emotional development in the early years. We advocate for this work to be undertaken in relationship with a caring and attuned adult, and we believe that this work can be done early and easily.
What we do
Connection leads to cooperation, learning and development
We provide easy to learn and ‘hold in mind’ practices to activate development through creating and enhancing purposeful connections with children. Without purposeful connection, children will not be interested in what we have to offer!
Our programs focus on the unique influence a secure relational model has on a child’s development, and the natural opportunities that are presented in everyday moments to activate development, rather than compensate for problems.
Our work is informed by an evidence-based Framework that works towards four key developmental domains:
- Emotional Literacy Awareness and Co-Regulation
- Social Awareness and Relationships
- Confidence, Sense of Self and Self Worth (The Internal working model)
- Positive Mental Health (Mental agility, Resilience, and an ability to cope).
Who we work with
Early childhood educators, kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers.
Neurotypical and Neurodiverse educational facilities and staff groups.
Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Social Workers, Maternal and Child Health Nurses, welfare and support staff.
Interested in the health, safety, and development of children.
Our training is designed to meet the learners needs:
- Online or Face to Face learning models
- 2 hour Professional Learning format
- 1 day Professional Workshop
- 6 or 12 month & 2 year Partnership model
All of our learning content is aimed to achieve obtainable learning outcomes within the particular delivery approach. At The SELF, we know that learning progresses best when we are exposed to new knowledge in a supported incremental manner at a manageable pace. This is why our partnership model of training is our preferred model of learning and where possible should be yours too.
This model gives learners the opportunity to take on learning at the pace that works for them, while having a mentor to turn to through the challanges of grappling with new knowledge and applying this into practice.
