About this event
bower(schools) Child Development Presentation
What behaviours, emotions and thoughts can a child be expected to take responsibility for at what stage of their development?
What is developmentally appropriate behaviour?
When a child’s development does not follow the normal curve how does this impact the responsibility they can take and how can teachers, parents and practitioners best assist?
Understanding normal child development is key to creating an environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. It empowers teachers to be more responsive, supportive, and effective in their roles and gives them the language to communicate effectively with parents about their child’s progress.
Join Clinical Psychologist, Catherine Sanders and the bower(schools) team for this presentation on Child Development.

About this event
In the early 2000’s Australia changed its mind about locking people up as its primary strategy for managing mental illness, intellectual disability, autism, addiction, acquired brain injury, child abuse, dysregulated behaviour, and criminal behaviour. The Education system has absorbed this exodus of children, adolescents, and adults from the old institutions.
Schools are responsible for things that they have never had responsibility for in the past. Join us for a bower(schools) workshop, where we will explore how schools manage children and families with complex needs and the importance of collaboration with the education and health systems. We explore the recalibration between these systems, so they work together to benefit children and their families.
Bower(schools) endeavours to address the boundary between schools and the mental health, medical, child protection, justice, and disability systems over the highly complex matters most schools and teachers are now engaged with.
