About a Developmental, Relationship-Based Approach
At Open Minds, we are committed to learning about your child and the unique ways they experience themselves, others, and the world around them.
Attuned, connected relationships come first, and are the cornerstone of wellbeing and growth in all areas. As a key adult in your child's life, you are the biggest difference maker.
The ways your child engages, communicates, and behaves is a reflection of how they are managing their experiences and the demands of life. Struggles typically reflect their needs for our understanding, connection, and carefully constructed supports.
Growth happens within a step-by-step, developmental framework, and is never achieved by simply instructing or forcing compliance. New skills and behaviours naturally emerge when we work toward meeting your child's needs, and when we guide meaningful and developmentally appropriate next steps.
Together with you, we create one-step-ahead growth opportunities for your child and for you as their guide in this process.
