SEL Micro-Training: Acknowledging & Validating August 25, 2026
To feel seen and acknowledged by adults, is vital to the positive development of children. When young people feel valued and respected, they are much more likely to trust, which deepens any exchange. In this workshop, we explore the empowering skills of acknowledgement and validation (along with their opposites), examining the potential impact of each.
Discover…
• what it feels like to be validated
• why validation is essential to moving conversations forward
• key strategies to use while acknowledging and validating
