I’m often asked how I “get” kids to engage. The secret? I don’t “get” them to do anything. I meet them where they are.
In this space, we follow the child’s lead. We celebrate their interests, we validate their communication (whatever that looks like), and we build trust first.
Because a child who feels safe and seen will communicate more than a child who is simply being told to “comply.”
Connection > Compliance. Every single time.
