Professional Development Opportunities
Talking with Tamariki and Whanau (A workshop for OSCAR Staff and Management)
Facilitated by Jesamine Wikaira. Jesamine hails from the Hokianga and she is a Mother of 5 children and the Chairperson for South Hokianga OSCAR. Her working background is in cultural programmes and considerable facilitation of parenting and whanau programmes. With experience managing OSCAR and having children at OSCAR gives Jesamine a valuable perspective.

If you’re looking for a workshop to help you understand children and build strong positive relationships with the children in your programme and their families, this is the workshop for you. It will look at:

  • Clear straightforward communication
  • Problem solving
  • Building relationships based on respect
  • Predictable expectations for children
  • Partnerships with parents
  • When good times go bad!

Child Youth and Family strongly encourage OSCAR providers to attend training and education around understanding and managing children’s behaviour – this is the first and most significant step.
