What others said about this webinar:

The importance of deeply listening to children, not just identifying their interests, but also understanding why those interests matter. By uncovering these motivations, we can create more meaningful, child-led experiences.
— PATRICIA
To take children's learning through play seriously. Children's interests are also important to them as this allows their learning of interests in their own play to be able to build, to encourage and to share with other children including their teachers.
— JUNE
This webinar is amazing, wow! My mind is full of ideas about interests, and I have realised that I do have some longstanding assumptions. As kaiako, we shouldn't trivialise children's real interests, and we need to understand the true children by visiting their families, group discussions, and let our interests coincide with those of children.
