Delving Deeper: Understanding Ourselves in Child and Youth Psychology

This Child and Youth Psychology lesson embarks on a journey of self-discovery! We'll explore how our own emotions, growth mindset, and learning styles shape not only our own experiences, but also our interactions with children and youth.

Get ready to unpack:

• The Power of Emotions: We'll delve into the world of emotions in children and youth, exploring how they perceive, express, and regulate their emotions. We'll also consider how our own emotional state can impact our interactions with them.
• Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset: Discover the power of mindsets! We'll analyze the impact of growth mindsets (believing intelligence and abilities can develop) versus fixed mindsets (believing intelligence and abilities are fixed) on children and youth. We'll also explore how our own mindsets can influence theirs.
• Learning Styles in Focus: Uncover the diverse ways children and youth learn. We'll explore different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) and how understanding these styles can help us create effective learning environments. We'll also reflect on our own preferred learning styles.

By the end of this lesson, you'll gain a deeper understanding of:

• The emotional landscape of children and youth.
• The power of growth mindsets in fostering a love of learning.
• How to tailor your approach to cater to diverse learning styles.
