Description

During this workshop, you’ll learn parenting strategies to help your child develop their independence, collaboration skills, and attention spans so they are ready for school. Some areas we’ll focus on include:

 

• Encouraging your child’s peer relationships

• Developing good communication with your child’s teachers
