Creating authentic relationships with whānau: settling and whānau partnership

Description

This practical resource will support teaching teams to create a smooth transition for children and families from home to early childhood as well as useful pathways within settings.

The book is full of practical advice for settling children and families and creating authentic partnerships.  Based on action research conducted at Ngaio Childspace, this resource offers advice and guidance for relationship building, creating secure attachments, understanding separation anxiety, and practical examples of templates such as visiting guides and guidelines for settling.

Our recent TLIF research has led us to understand that valuing settling processes for each family leads to improved outcomes for everyone.
