Making connections with families is an important part of the work that library staff do. Whether through a brief interaction or a relationship built over time, these connections are essential for families to see libraries as a place where they are welcome. In this series, participants will learn strategies to engage with families, and solve problems together when situations feel challenging.
Specific topics for the 5 sessions include:
- Perspective-taking
- Using strengths-based attitudes
- Active listening
- The power of observation
- Valuing a family’s passion
Presenter:
The Brazelton Touchpoints Center (BTC) provides professional and leadership development, organizational learning and change, and research and evaluation services for family-facing professionals working in pediatrics, early childhood care and education, children’s libraries and museums, early intervention, and other fields.
