Title Interview on Kathy Weston's 'Get A Grip!' Parenting Podcast Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Get A Grip Parenting Podcast Media type Other Duration/Length/Size 1 hour Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 28/03/22 Description Interacting with Children in the Early Years
In this podcast, Dr Weston talks with developmental psychologist, Dr Rory Devine. They focus on what we know about how young children develop control over their own thoughts and actions (their ‘executive functions’), and how they acquire the ability to tune in to the thoughts, feelings, and desires of others (their 'theory of mind'), and the positive consequences these skills can have on children’s social lives, academic success and mental health. This fascinating interview will arm any parent or educator with simple ways to promote the development of these valuable life skills. Teachers can also learn more about a fantastic free tool to assess children's school readiness.Producer/Author Kathy Weston Persons Rory Devine
