Cultivating and mastering soft skills is essential in the changing and challenging environment of early childcare education. Whether interacting with children, parents, or other educators, communication skills play a pivotal role in your ability to connect in a meaningful way with confidence. In this 2-part series, we will examine active listening, how the heart “listens” and how being empathetic makes us better listeners, and overall more effective educators. ​​Learn what soft skills are, and how using all of our senses help to build better relationships. Find out how patience and observation aids in developing a foundation of trust and respect, and discover the power of questioning and rephrasing, to gain a deep understanding before issues arise. By attending this series, you will boost your communication skills and become more engaged, empathetic, and a better active listener.​
