Practice Ideas
We know it may take time to feel comfortable using these new tools; whether it’s a new growth
chart or new participant-centered growth chart conversations.
Here are some ideas to practice using WIC Connect skills when sharing growth information.
 Think about a growth chart conversation that went well. What do you think made the
conversation go well? Share your thoughts with a partner.
 Think about a challenging growth chart conversation you may have had in the past.
Work with a partner to practice using some of the WIC Connect skills you think might
make the conversation go better.
 Identify a growth chart conversation with a caregiver between now and your next staff
meeting that goes well and share with your co-workers the words that feel comfortable
and connect with you and the caregiver.
