The Beckies are delighted to be joined by Dr Janet Rose, Emotion Coaching Co-Founder and Principle of Norland College.

We discuss shaping children’s brains and the importance of our communications as educators and teachers upon children’s lives, not only in practice now, but for their futures.

Janet explains how the way we talk and communicate with children shapes brains. She shares the latest research that is needed for practice. She enlightens us about the way children process the tone of the voice first. They are scanning their world; non-verbal interactions are recognised and processed.

We are wired to connect with our social world.

Babies and young children are seeking a response to their gestures – baby is connection seeking and communicating, and how the adult responds will literally be shaping the neuro-wiring in the child’s brains.

A career with children could be viewed as not being rocket science ( one of the children you listen to and teach may become a rocket scientist), however it is definitely brain science and choosing a career in early years and education or with any age child, mean’s you are responsible for creating the environments where brain development is optimal! Connections, communications, listening and trusting children’s ideas really does matter!
