Everybody wins when parents develop skills for reinforcing the expectations of their children at school and beyond. These workshops are designed to share practical skills we can begin using right away with our children. The skills our children learn in the process will set them up to be happier, more confident, and more prepared for the next stages in their lives. Each date/topic leads into the next, while they are also valuable on their own. Sign-up for each date/topic separately. You can register for the dates/topics of most interest to you, or join us for all six!
