Upcoming Workshops
June 10th, 2025 - Screen Time: Dump the Guilt and Get Support. TV, video games, computers, phones, tablets; we live in a culture of electronic screens. They can feel indispensable but we all worry about how much is too much? Learn how screen time affects children’s development and how to define limits tailored to your family.
July 8th, 2025 - No More Yelling: Nobody wants to be the screaming parent yet most of us end up there at one time or another. Come join us to learn how to put more knots into your rope so you’re not hanging on by a thread. We’ll teach alternatives to yelling and help you explore ways to be the effective parent you want to be.
August 12th - Power Struggles: We all have them with our children, even when we work hard to avoid them. They start during the toddler years and ramp up again for tweens and teens. Join the conversation about when power struggles show up at your house and strategies to avoid some of them and cope with the inevitable ones.
