The art of social communication is not just about talking. We look at each other, we take turns, we read facial expressions and body language, we listen to the tone of voice, we pay attention to what our communication partner is paying attention to. That is a lot to process all at once. How do children learn social communication which is essential to navigate the world and build lasting relationships?

We are honoured to have Ms. Chithra Kathiresan, founder of CONNECT & COMMUNICATE, to Debunk Myths about Social Communication. The objective of the session is to help parents understand the big picture around social, emotional regulation and executive functions.
