    Examples of responsive exchange you may use everyday. listening, understanding, being heard, patience, positive attitude, interactive activities, and playing with the children. Children need to feel understood and loved even if you are not family.

    I can say, “I see you’re working hard on that puzzle!” or “You look sad, do you want to talk?” I can also ask, “What would you like to play today?” to show I care and listen.

    Making conversation with children, letting them know you care and pay attention. Maybe let them know that what we do in life is similar to what they do might help with a connection. For example: What did you have for breakfast? mmmm cereal. Oh, I love cereal too. I don’t like chocolate but I like oatmeal… etc.

    During learning center time, I like to walk around the room and check in with the groups of children playing. I might ask a few questions or make a few comments about what they are doing in their play. Maybe they ask me to read them a book or help with a puzzle they are putting together.

    Responsive exchanges like ” it’s okay to feel upset, I’m here with you” or “you worked hard on that, tell me about it” help children feel understood, supported, and build emotional resilience in everyday moments.

    Actively listening to the child as they describe the previous day or weekend, expressing genuine interest and excitement. Playing games together and tailoring projects to be done together with their interests so they feel seen.

    Asking open ended questions and listening to their responses is probably the most important tool we have as educators. It shows we value their thoughts and opinions, gives them time to express their views, and lets us learn more about them. When we engage in these types of conversations, we are helping kids feel safe, which in turn leads to better outcomes and more resilience.
