❄️Motor Development in Babies 0-18 Months: Thursday Jan 29, 1:00-2:00, presented by Christina Marinelli, DPT from Emerson Health. This presentation by a pediatric Doctor of Physical Therapy will describe motor development using evidence-based resources. You will learn: 1) what typical development looks like, 2) general tips and strategies to support baby's skill acquisition, and 3) helpful resources for continued learning. Time for questions allowed.
❄️Understanding Threenagers: Thurs Feb 12, 7:00-8:00, presented by Ellie Springer, M.Ed. Three year olds begin to fiercely assert their independence, while at other times cling to adults and want help with tasks they have been able to do on their own for months. If you have a child in this stage, or about to enter it, join Ms. Ellie to learn what is typical at this stage, how to support your child through it, and how to make life a little smoother for you all.
❄️What Behaviors Tell Us: Understanding Your Child's Communication: Thurs Feb 26, 7:00-8:00, presented by Concord Children's Center educators. Join early childhood experts for a warm and informative panel discussion exploring how young children use behavior to communicate their needs, emotions, and developing skills. You’ll learn what your child might be trying to tell you—and how to respond in ways that build connection (and maybe save your sanity).
❄️Setting Effective Boundaries: How Clear, Loving Limits Create Safety & Security for the Developing Brain: Thurs Mar 12, 8:00-9:00, presented by Chrissy Dagostino, M.A. This workshop explores the critical role boundaries play in helping young children to develop a sense of security as they move through the world and come to understand their place in it. Parents and caregivers will leave with practical tools for supporting cooperation and safety within their families.
