TBRI Connecting Principles - FP

1.00 Training Hours

The Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) skills for helping caregivers to connect with the children in their care are reviewed. The five connecting principles of matching behavior, playful engagement, eye contact, safe touch and voice are based on the work of Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross and the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. The techniques reviewed in the training encourage relationship building and are based on the understanding that behavior change can occur organically when a parent and child are connected.

Objectives:
  • Articulate the meaning of TBRI's Connecting Principles
  • Examine the importance of healthy touch and its impact
  • Evaluate the interchangeable association between mindfulness and the Connecting Principles
  • Identify ways to employ engagement strategies from the IDEAL Response method used to help children to regulate behavior
