Parenting Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers – The Family Centre
As a parent of a child under five, every day is an exciting challenge full of surprises. You never really know what to expect next when it comes to things like language, learning, or physical activity. And then there are those temper tantrums that seem to flare up out of nowhere! At times, you may feel like nothing you do as a parent is working. We’ll offer positive strategies to help you guide your children’s behaviour and provide a nurturing home, while you take care of yourself.
Who can attend:
Any caregiver who is parenting a child between 18 months and five years old.
Caregivers interested in establishing positive parenting practices in toddlers or preschoolers.
You will build skills for parenting toddlers and preschoolers by understanding:
What to expect as your child develops
Your parenting style and how it affects your child
Why children behave the way they do
How to positively guide behaviours
What bonding is and why it’s important
How ‘play’ helps develop physical, intellectual, and social skills
How to encourage confidence
How to better communicate with children
How to deal with misbehaviour and tantrums
How to potty train
How to care of yourself
By the end of the session, you will feel more comfortable:
Creating effective parenting strategies and giving positive feedback
Addressing misbehaviour or other issues
Setting boundaries, limits, and guidelines
Communicating with your child or children
Providing a nurturing home environment
Minimizing the negative effects of divorce or separation (if applicable), and
