In recognition of the place that self-confidence has in children's ability to learn and participate fully in nursery life, Acorn Training has launched a new course, 'I can do it! Helping children develop self-confidence'.
With its focus on working with children from birth to three, the six-hour session is designed to equip practitioners with an understanding of how they can help individual children to achieve self-confidence and independence, and keep this sharply in focus as part of their ongoing practice.
The starting point is to define confidence and confident behaviour. Participants will be asked to contribute their own definitions based on experience in their early years settings. The group will be urged to discuss how they recognise confidence, both in themselves and in the children, and explore how confidence is key to other aspects of learning.
