In this course, students will explore how interpersonal communication relates to the care and maintenance of relationships. Educators play a pivotal role facilitating and mediating interpersonal relationships with adults and children in early learning settings. Interpersonal interactions and perceptions are profoundly affected by personal history, culture, and environmental contexts. As early childhood educators it is essential to be aware of communication patterns within professional interactions with young children, their families, and colleagues. This course explores special consideration related to co- and self-regulation, self-reflection, mental health, and the culturally responsive relational principles guiding one's interactions.
