During the next 4 sessions, we will be focusing on using the parent assumptions, the guiding principles, the language of the behavior and anticipatory guidance.

Scaffolding Parents to Support Their Children’s Emergent Literacy OLS Part 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm
The push for school readiness has many of us feeling pressured to find ways to get parents to talk to and read to their children. Some of us work for programs which require us to “teach” parents how to do this. How do we effectively communicate with parents about promoting language development in their children?
Join us in this 4 part webinar series for a discussion around making the shift from “telling” parents to using Touchpoints strategies to scaffold parents’ efforts to support their child’s emergent literacy

Touchpoints Early Care and Education Training Program8:00 am – 5:30 pm
The Brazelton Touchpoints in Early Care and Education Initiative offers a two-day professional development opportunity designed to prepare professionals in the field of early child care and education to incorporate the Brazelton Touchpoints Approach into their shared care giving with parents within their early childhood setting.
Objectives
The Touchpoints Early Care and Education Training Program will:
- Present the Touchpoints theoretical framework. The focus will be the Touchpoints Developmental and Relational Frameworks, particularly the elements of parent-child-provider relationships in the first six years of a child’s life.
- Illustrate particular Touchpoints practices through presentations, videotaped encounters, parent quotes, case vignettes and interactive exercises.
- Discuss how the TouchpointsApproach can be used to benefit the child, the parents and the educator (e.g., how early childhood educators can use the Touchpoints Approach to help parents deepen their understanding of a child’s behavior and establish a more successful system of relationships for all involved).
Touchpoints in Early Care and Education represents a paradigm shift away from the idea of a child attending childcare, and towards the goal of child care providers joining and supporting every family’s system of care around their child. The Touchpoints Approach assists in the creation of these shared care giving partnerships.
