Understand Your Child’s Developing Brain

Ever wonder why your child acts the way they do or how they understand the world around them? In this workshop, we will:
- Establish a “Mission Statement” to guide parenting.

Establishing and nurturing friendships is an important life skill. In this workshop we will explore how parents can help children:
- Develop meaningful and authentic friendships through empathy and kindness.
- Develop the skills they need to manage conflict and navigate sticky situations while staying true to themselves.

Raising Your Bilingual Child

Raising bilingual children is full of joys and challenges! As parents strive to provide meaningful and effective bilingual language experiences, they often wonder how best to nurture their children. In this workshop, we will discuss:
