Resumo
“Family-Centered Practices: The Theory, the Evidence and the Implementation”. Family-centered practices are a distinct way of creating partnerships with families that have been shown to impact a wide range of outcomes for the child and family. Nevertheless, research also shows that professionals struggle to implement these practices. This presentation will explore the current evidence behind family-centered practices, and apply that evidence to our work with young children and their families. What should we be doing? Where should the family be? How should we spend our time together?
