(2003). ...... half of the document ...... ACT: Early Childhood Australia Inc. Retrieved February 11, 2014, from http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/pdf/everyday_learning/EDL1301_SampleChapter.pdf In this source, Dr. Luke Touhill discusses the “what,” “why,” and “how” we can have meaningful conversations with children. It is written as a support resource for parents, family members, and educators caring for young children. It also emphasizes that during conversation, reciprocity or exchanging ideas with others, including our children, is key to authentic conversations. Currently, Dr Touhill conducts research investigating children's planning service environments in Australia; this makes the source reliable. This information provides me with guidelines to establish a quality conversation with the child to be interviewed, understand him better and study parent-child communication patterns.
