When it comes to behavior, life with toddlers and preschoolers can often be quite challenging!  Do you find yourself wondering how to handle difficult behaviors?  Are you wondering what behaviors are age-appropriate and which ones need disciplining? What does ‘discipline’ mean anyway? Are you wondering about ‘time-outs’, how to use them or if they are even effective? What are other discipline and limit-setting options?

Answers to these and many other discipline and challenging behavior-related questions will be answered during this 1.5 hr parent-only workshop.

Recommended for families with children ages 1-5 years.

This workshop makes a great follow-up to our Positive Discipline 101 workshop, but can also be taken on its own.  In this “open-discussion” class, we will spend the entire 1.5 hrs addressing  families’ unique discipline challenges using problem-solving and research-based strategies.  Aside from gaining support for your own family, hearing from other families and discussing together about possible approaches is a wonderful learning tool.  Bring your questions and a notebook! This is an intimate group of no more than 6 families.

Presented by Nadine Beshere Adams, Physical Therapist and Diastasis Expert

Diastasis Recti is a common condition affecting many pregnant and postpartum women

It’s potty time! Whether you have tried to potty train your child in the past or this is your first attempt at what can be a trying process, we will provide you with strategies and support to successfully make the transition from diapers to big kid underwear!

There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. Our goal is for parents to leave this workshop feeling knowledgeable, ready and excited to teach their child to use the potty!
