When I worked in the school system I realized that meetings, agenda and goals were predetermined, and that the meeting was often overwhelming for the family. I now do early intervention full-time, which is more family centered and an open environment to express thoughts and feelings. Focusing on regulation, listening and learning seems to be the foundation for most relationships, and remembering that other stressors play a role in family participation.

Working in Early Intervention, our practices are partially shaped by the medical model. The perspectives and suggestions provided in this course help to balance that "I'm the expert" approach with a more human, respectful, and collaborative approach that results in more meaningful progress for the children and families we work with.

I think we at times feel that that emotions and reactions of parents are not our responsibility and we need to focus on the child. This is so false and this presentation reinforced this. It helped us focus on why we get these responses and how we can actually help the child if we positively respond to the parents situation with empathy.

I really enjoyed this course because it highlighted mirror neurons and how energy can be taken on by others. It is important to be calm, regulated, and nonjudgmental. I gained new terms from this course in regard to language I can use with students who are having a difficult time with emotional regulation, providing them with an increased sense of agency and control within the moment. I also appreciated the difference in vocabulary that was reinforcement, family involvement vs engagement.

Great ideas, and excellent presentation style. I will definitely be able to apply this during current interactions. Unfortunately, the reality of workload and time constraints make it difficult to find additional time to really connect with parents and establish trust and a more meaningful level of engagement as suggested here. In an ideal world, all of this would be great!!

It was a very insightful course. I enjoyed learning about the different aspects of human behavior. I liked learning about the strategies to remain regulated when someone is demonstrating more dysregulated behavior toward you. I also liked learning about the reasons why others become dysregulated and that it can be a trauma-based reaction. This information is helpful when practicing not taking things personally in the moment. Great course!

I thought the information given was great.
