Don’t miss these on-demand webinars on some of the most popular topics — available to access at any time:
Your child’s behavior can be challenging — but it might be due to an inner conflict. And that inner conflict can often mirror your own. Learn how the FLIP IT (Feelings, Limits, Inquiries, Prompts) strategy can build your resilience and help you better deal with your child’s behavior.
Creativity and curiosity are essential skills to being an effective learner, thinker, and researcher. However, these talents diminish over time in most people if not supported and encouraged. You can support your child’s abilities to ask questions, use their imagination, and explore — find out how our Discovery Driven Learning™ approach can help.
Neurodiverse learners experience the world and absorb information in a variety of ways. In this webinar, learn how to offer children support and help others understand their unique needs.
Did you know that mindfulness and self-regulation can actually impact a child’s ability to learn. Hear about the latest research and find out how to practice mindfulness with your child.
Higher emotional intelligence does so much more than help children understand how they (and others) are feeling. It’s also a key player in building positive relationships, paying attention, and being engaged at school.
From babbles, to words, to full sentences — children’s language development is fascinating. We’ll explore the different stages, key milestones, and what to expect in your child’s first few years.
