Cassie Tondreau is a loved and well-respected educator, and based on her many years of experience, she knows, without a doubt, that children can be trusted to ask for deeper explanations and understanding … when they need them.  In this conversation about challenging, even disturbing topics, including Covid-19, Cassie encourages us to be sensitive to achieving the right balance between sharing too much with children and not sharing enough with them. Cassie is not only a very special educator, she’s also an excellent writer, so I highly recommend the article she wrote, titled “Talking to Young Children About COVID-19,” which recently appeared in RETHINKING SCHOOLS MAGAZINE. Here's the link to that article: https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/talking-to-young-children-about-covid-19/ Again, thank you for being here. You are very special to me, because I think you “get” the fact that is often missed by most school administrators and curriculum builders and, unfortunately, many teachers, that Social Emotional Learning is a field of study that’s as big and deep and wide as the whole of human experiences and interactions…. which is why I keep going forward with this podcast.  Until next time, stay well, and keep learning … because continual, open-minded, open-hearted learning really is the only way forward.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nini-white/message

Ep. 78 - Real Talk with Kids, with Cassie Tondreau

Children’s sharing is definitely a topic that belongs in any conversation about young children's Social Emotional Learning, but sharing is not a Black &amp; White topic for Cassie Tondreau, today’s guest on the Big Picture Social Emotional Learning Podcast. In fact, sharing is SO not a Black &amp; White topic for Cassie, that she describes sharing as a subject that is “murky” and multi-layered in its challenges... and in the many opportunities it provides for everyone to grow and to develop richer relationships. What I love about this conversation is Cassie’s extreme honesty about her own approach to sharing in a variety of her own life’s situations… and I can so relate to the examples she raises. I wonder if you’ll be able to relate, as well. To get the full force of Cassie’s insights from the article she wrote for Exchange Magazine, go to the July/August 2019 issue. https://www.childcareexchange.com/catalog/product/248-july-august-2019/4324800/ Cassie has many more important insights to share with us, so I hope you’re subscribed… and I hope you’ve told a friend or two about all the great educators' wisdom we’re privy to on this podcast.
