Parenting Preschoolers
Helping children grow
through love and limits
Parenting is both rewarding and
challenging! The preschool years can be especially trying, but this time offers
us the chance to sew positive seeds for the future. Be a part of this exciting group where you
can meet other parents and share ideas, stories, laughs, and LEARN PRACTICAL GUIDELINES for handling
parenting challenges from the not-so-terrible two’s through the transition into
school age.
Parenting is not one-size-fits-all. Your individual parenting beliefs and values
are the basis for your child’s upbringing.
This group will help you to identify your parenting beliefs and utilize
your strengths toward positive parenting practices. This will help both you and your child to build
confidence.
In this group, we will discuss parenting
issues common to most families, in a relaxed
and encouraging way. Parenting
preschoolers challenges us to slow down, calm down, and even laugh at ourselves
at times. Group topics will include:
How
can I maintain structure and routine with my busy, hectic lifestyle?
How do I get my child to listen… AND follow through?!
Is that
“But everyone else has one!”
Saying “no” in the age of indulgence
Please just go to bed… and stay there this time!
Time Out? My child enjoys
it too much!
Mommy/Daddy needs alone time!
Balance demands of parenting and
self
Why do grocery stores seem to induce temper tantrums?!
“I love you both EXACTLY the same!” Handling
sibling rivalry
