About the webinar

Join us for a ‘fireside chat’ about ways to discuss difficult topics with children. We’ll cover areas like:

  • The pedagogical ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ of having these sorts of talks
  • How to look at challenging situations from the child’s perspective
  • Ways to help children cope in times of emergency or stress

Professor Lipponen will provide a pedagogical point of view and share some of the latest research findings in this field. Tiina will also provide her insights as a parent.
