REACHING IN…..REACHING OUT (RIRO)

EVENEMENTS FRANCOPHONES

La formation en habiletés de résilience RIRO est un programme en deux parties, fondé sur des données

probantes, qui est destiné à des fournisseurs de services aux enfants de la naissance à l’âge de huit ans.

La formation se sert d’une approche relationnelle et cognitivo-comportementale qui s’appuie sur la résolution

sociale de problèmes pour prévenir la dépression et favoriser la résilience chez les enfants âgés de moins de

huit ans. Elle repose sur 35 ans de recherches de Martin Seligman, PhD., et de ses collègues à l’Université

de la Pennsylvanie. Son but est d’aider les adultes à aider les enfants à faire face aux épreuves

inévitables de la vie et à tirer profit des opportunités qui favorisent le développement optimal.

Les études démontrent que dès l’âge de deux ans, les enfants commencent à imiter les façons dont les

adultes de leur entourage répondent au stress du quotidien, aux défis plus graves et aux opportunités

d’épanouissement. Quand les adultes mettent en pratique l’ensemble d’habiletés RIRO dans leur propre

vie, ils deviennent des modèles pour les enfants en donnant l’exemple d’une pensée efficace et de

stratégies d’adaptation pratiques en réponse autant à l’adversité qu’à l’opportunité.

La première partie fait découvrir aux adultes les recherches importantes dans le domaine ainsi que les

habiletés de résilience qui améliorent les capacités

d’autorégulation et qui font la promotion d’une perspective

résiliente et d’une approche flexible face au conflit, aux

problèmes et aux défis du quotidien.

La deuxième partie aide les adultes à mettre ces habilités en

pratique dans leur travail directement auprès des enfants :

• grâce à une meilleur compréhension du comportement et de la façon de penser des enfants

• en aidant les enfants à développer les sept capacités essentielles associées à la résilience

• au moyen d’approches conviviales telles l’utilisation de livres pour enfants, de marionnettes et d’activités qui renforcent la résilience

MANAGING CONFLICT AND COMMUNICATION - SEPTEMBER 18, 2019

When you have a professional team, who care passionately about what they do, there are bound to

be differences of opinions. Interpersonal conflicts can arise in a number of different ways in a

childcare setting, including when dealing with families. Conflicts that are not effectively managed

have a negative impact on the whole team, affecting morale and productivity. This can lead to an

increase in absenteeism, resignations, and can ultimately result in harassment complaints. Taking a

proactive approach in evaluating our communication climate and looking at ways to effectively

managing those differences of opinions, especially during times of change, is the key to success in

managing conflict and challenging situations. Join us for an interactive session on how we

communicate, the assumptions we make when communicating and how to effectively manage

conflict.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: DEALING WITH CHALLENGING PERFORMANCE

NOVEMBER 27, 2019

When it comes to on-going performance management, are you getting the long term results you

want? Are staff being encouraged and/or inspired to do their best performance? Managing staff

performance, dealing with performance issues and behaviours can be the most challenging part of

your job. This interactive session covers the tools and techniques you can use to successfully

manage performance issues whether the challenges lie in the staff’s ability to perform the duties of

the job (poor work behaviour) or the staff’s failure to follow your organization’s policies and practices

(improper workplace behaviour).

and many more as we review the book.
