Children need
caregivers who understand child development, and who interact with them in
positive ways that help promote self-esteem.
Caregivers need to know how to help children learn to self-regulate, without
humiliating or otherwise harming the child.
P.R.I.C.E. (Positivity, Responsibility, Influence,
Consequences and Encouragement) are parenting classes to help good parents
become better and new unsure parents to gain confidence. The P.R.I.C.E.
philosophy believes the relationships between the child and caregiver can be
created to foster support, caring, and nurturing. These classes are also good
for childcare and education professionals.
Challenging Behaviors
is an introductory workshop to help educators
What Do You Do with the Mad That You Feel
explores anger, where it comes from, and how young children can gradually learn
the self-control necessary to manage their anger and channel it into productive
activity. It also suggests ways to intervene when children act out or lose
control. "Challenging Behaviors" is a pre-requisite to this class.
Pre-registration is required
