- Explore as part of this model, what the PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) ‘Attitude’ is and what it is not.
- Understand how the PACE ‘Attitude’ is helpful in remaining connected when children and young people in care are pushing back or reacting to our approaches to care for them.
- Have the opportunity to give PACE a try and to explore the various ways this ‘Attitude’ can be helpful for both us as adults as well as the children and young people in our care.
- Understand what can get in the way for us in being PACEful and take us off track.
- Understand how best to understand ourselves as well as the children we care for and how PACE can help to maintain connection together.
