Listening to Children: Honouring Children’s Voices in Their Fullness

April 30, 2026 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (MDT)

Description

Listening to children is key to understanding and embracing their emotions, needs, and aspirations for a healthy and engaging early learning experience. When educators actively listen, children feel seen and heard, and their thoughts, ideas, and voices are valued as essential contributors to their communities and learning environments.


Articles 12 and 13 of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child States:


12. Respect for children’s views
Children have the right to give their opinions freely on issues that affect them. Adults should listen and take children seriously.


13. Sharing thoughts freely
Children have the right to share freely with others what they learn, think and feel, by talking, drawing, writing or in any other way unless it harms other people.

Session information:
This professional learning opportunity invites participants to reflect on the image of the child as well as their role in listening in building strong, supportive relationships between children and educators. You will explore practical, hands-on strategies and resources to enhance these connections, ensuring children’s voices are authentically honored. Educators will connect the use of observation as a meaningful way to listen to children and support making their thoughts, opinions and feelings visible in their learning environments and the curriculum planned for them. 

Participants will:

  • Reflect on how the image of the child connected to the educator’s role in listening looks in practice
  • Explore practical strategies and resources that support meaningful connections with children
  • Understand observation as a powerful way of listening to children
  • Learn how to make children’s voices visible in learning environments and curriculum planning
