This podcast follows on from Robyn's presentation in our Webinar series Hot topics in inclusion and further discusses how educators can sensitively introduce the Playspaces® approach to their practice. In this Podcast Robyn responds to the following questions:
- What is the relationship between the Circle of Security and Playspaces® ? How are they similar and how are they different?
- How have parents responded to educators being still and the transition routines?
- Is there room for flexibility/adjustments to the Playspaces® approach?
- Is there room for a gradual introduction if educators or families are not entirely convinced about making the change to a Playspaces® approach?
- How do Playspaces® work with Covid restrictions?
- What are the three key messages to take away about Playspaces® ?
