What happens when we stop asking what a child cannot do and start asking what they can do?In this episode, I explore a simple but important question I recently shared in an article for Not Another Leaflet: “What can my child do, rather than what they cannot do or fail to do?”Our education system often operates within a deficit model, focusing on a child’s needs, difficulties and what they are unable to do. Educational psychology can also be guilty of this, with statutory reports often being built around deficits rather than strengths. This episode looks at why we need to start asking different questions and how a strengths based approach can change the conversations between parents and schools.The discussion explores how identifying a child’s strengths can help schools build more appropriate interventions and support mechanisms around what already works for them. This might mean recognising routines that help a child regulate, using existing friendships to create opportunities for social communication, or finding the people and situations where a child feels most comfortable.I also explore a second question: “Who likes my child? And more importantly, why?”For children who are struggling in school or are at risk of exclusion, relationships can tell us a great deal about what is helping them remain connected to school. Understanding why a child responds positively to a particular adult can help us become more curious about what that relationship provides, whether that is familiarity, validation, nurture or routine.The episode considers why relationships are so important within learning and why changing the way we understand a child's behaviour may require us to look beyond the child and towards the relationships and systems around them.In This Episode, We ExploreWhy we need to ask what a child can do, rather than focusing only on what they cannot do.How the education system can fall into a deficit model.Why strengths should form a bigger part of conversations about children and their support.How schools can build interventions around what already works for a child.How existing friendships can create opportunities for social communication.Why asking “Who likes my child, and why?” can provide important information.The importance of relationships for children who are at risk of exclusion.The importance of a relational approach to learning.Why This Episode MattersSometimes, the most useful insights about a child come from looking at what already works.A strengths-based approach focuses on a child’s abilities, relationships and successes to build meaningful support at school.Asking “Who likes my child and why?” can help us understand what makes relationships work and how to create more positive experiences.🎧 Listen to the full episode for more insights on supporting children in school.I’d love to hear your thoughts:What can the children you work with do well?How often do we focus on strengths when discussing a child’s needs?What can a positive relationship tell us about how that child experiences school?Sponsored by: Next Link ConsortiumNext Link Consortium is a tailored recruitment service connecting psychology and education specialists to high-impact opportunities with built-in CPD benefits.
