Module 4 - Extending Person-Centered Care to Families and Children
Family-Centered and Child-Centered Care Age 3-9
In this unit, we begin to extend our consideration of “centered” care by adding child-centeredness to family-centered care. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child supports our efforts to engage children in their care in developmentally meaningful ways. Classic theoretical foundations from the field of child development are reviewed: Theory of Mind, narrative play, and self-determination. A video demonstrating use of the My World tool provides an observation and reporting opportunity, and is followed by a brief hands-on role-playing experience.
