Achieving success for parents & teachers
with infants to 6-year-olds
*This LIVE event is sold out.
We all want to be our best with children, but sometimes things can get a little hectic.
Join us as we come together for an afternoon of simple yet impactful tips on how we can help children flourish, while growing alongside them ourselves. šŖ
Dealing with difficult situations and strong emotions is not always so easy for children, or for us as adults.
Yet we know that when children can handle things well they are able to accomplish so much more, and the same is true for us as their parents and teachers.
Whether a child is newly born or 6 years old, learning how to thrive in this world takes work, and it doesnāt get easier with age. So how do we keep the growth fun versus stressful, challenging vs overwhelming, a great ride for everyone involved vs a rollercoaster of troubles and conflict? š¢
In this special one-day virtual event, experienced parents and successful early educators share the most effective ways to be our best with children, both in the moment and for the long run.
ALL parents and teachers are welcome!
