Three Way Street
Communicating with children is often a three way event between you, the child and an accompanying adult. Managing these interactions is an essential skill for everyone working with children.
Failure to communicate effectively with children can have serious and sometimes devastating consequences. Yet children are often at the margins of communication, for example in doctor-parent-child consultations, the child contribution averages less than 10%.
How does Three Way Street help?
Three Way Street has been developed by Triangle with children and young people. The Three Way Street Training & Development DVD and handbook gives you:
- Evidence-based strategies to establish direct communication with a child in the presence of another adult
- Examples of real three way interactions going well and going badly
- A model for three way communication in which the child is central
- Scenarios involving children and young people aged 1-20, meeting real doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, police officers, lawyers, teachers, interpreters and intermediaries.
