UW-Extension Parent Enrichment Workshop
Saturday, August 29th, 2015 -- 11:25 AM
Children as young as four years of age can learn to think for themselves in ways most of us never thought possible, according to Myrna Shure, author of "Raising a Thinking Child."The "Raising a Thinking Child" workshop series is an evidence-based program that helps parents teach young children how to solve problems and resolve daily conflicts; explore alternative solutions and their consequences; and consider the feelings of others.
The University of Wisconsin Extension is partnering with Neillsville Elementary School District, to offer the workshop series. "Raising a Thinking Child" offers special dialogues, games and activities, and communication techniques designed to respond to children's problems in a new way, a way that produces emotionally healthy, self-confident, and socially adjusted children.
Weekly 1-1/2 hour sessions will be held Tuesday Evenings at 5:00pm, September 15th-November 3rd, at the Neillsville Elementary School. Child care is available during the program and you must register with the registration deadline being September 3rd.
