Update by Anne Linder, Dansk Center for ICDP
Empathy at children’s level
The Danish Centre for ICDP (Dansk Center for ICDP) has published new teaching material, to be used when applying ICDP with children in kindergartens.
These new materials provide help for professionals to support the development of children’s social skills through teaching, conversations and guidance. The “suitcase with materials” can be used as a concrete toolbox for teaching and individual counselling of children who need knowledge about relationships and interaction. The material can be a valuable resource for introducing the eight themes for good interaction (ICDP) at children’s level.
- How do we use our emotions – so that our hearts become warmer?
- How do we play and learn together – so that our brains become smart?
- How do we help decide – so that we create good communities?
New book
Resilience researcher Ida Skytte Jakobsen, PhD and psychologist Anne Linder have together published the book “The Resilience Guide” at the publishing house Dafolo. The book is based on the basic idea that good relationships – created through the ICDP create the necessary hope and resilience in vulnerable children and families.
The book is aimed at professionals – teachers, educators, social workers and psychologists in both general and special education contexts – and it gives concrete instructions on how to work together to strengthen hope, relations and resilience of children and young people when life becomes a challenge.
