Episode 95 - Dr Weston Talks with Dr Rory Devine: Interacting with Children in the Early Years

In this podcast, Dr Weston talks with developmental psychologist,
Dr Rory Devine. They focus on what we know about how young
children develop control over their own thoughts and actions
(their ‘executive functions’), and how they acquire the ability
to tune in to the thoughts, feelings, and desires of others
(their 'theory of mind'), and the positive consequences these
skills can have on children’s social lives, academic success and
mental health. This fascinating interview will arm any parent or
educator with simple ways to promote the development of these
valuable life skills. Teachers can also learn more about a
fantastic free tool to assess children's school readiness.
