Young Kids, Behavior and Development

Sep 29 at Lewis & Clark Elementary School

I am a parent, now what? It seems logical to think that when our children are born that we will know everything we need to know about parenting. But the truth is that no one is born a parent. We learn how to be one. In this class, you will learn about children’s development and details about becoming the parent you want to be.

Learning Disabilities, Thriving at School

Communicate So They Will Hear

Oct 22 at Russell Elementary School

Are you wondering what happened to that sweet child of yours? Why is it so hard to talk to your teenager? In this class, you will learn about what is underneath parents’ and adolescents’ communication and how to unveil great results just by discovering skills you already have and learning a few more to create connection, collaboration and healthy communication with your teenager.

Helping Kids Manage Emotions

Nov 5 at Chief Charlo Elementary School

Children are not born knowing how to express or deal with their emotions. Sometimes behavior can tell us more than we think about how they feel. In this class you will learn how to identify emotions behind your child’s behavior and help them manage them by connecting and developing new skills.
