DDP utilises a form of communication developed by Dan Hughes, known as PACE®. PACE® stands for, Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Engagement. PACE® is a way of thinking, feeling, communicating and behaving that aims to make the child feel safe. It is done by communicating the four elements of PACE® together flexibly, not as a step by step process.
