As we all know, kids unfortunately don't come with a manual and often all we know is how we were parented. Sometimes we find those parenting strategies did not serve us or that the child we have needs a different approach. Attending our caregiver training classes or drop-in workshops might be just the solution for you!
Caring for a child often feels like right when you've got it all figured out, they grow out of that stage and send you a new curveball. This is where you might find a drop-in workshop helpful! I will be offering 1-hour or 2-hour drop-in workshops on issues like good sleep hygiene, using play to build attachment, successful potty training, fostering friendship skills, building language skills at home, understanding behavior as communication, and much more! Keep an eye out on our social media for more information. The cost for drop-in workshops ranges from $45-60.
