KNOWLEDGE IS POWER TOPICSDuring the first hour of the first full week of every month we have an open discussion on a specific topic. This spring’s topics include:
April 6 – April 10: Typical Thinking of Children and Adolescents How do your children and teens look at life? How do they interpret what happens around them or even the consequences of their own behavior? What limits does their thinking have because of their stage of development? How does their thinking influence their emotions and behavior?
May 4 – May 8: Typical Feelings of Children and Adolescents What are the typical emotional stages of development for children and teens? How do they learn healthy ways of expressing their emotions? How do their emotions influence their thoughts and behavior?
June 1 – 5: Typical Behavior of Children and Adolescents How does a child/teen’s behavior result from the way he/she thinks and feels? What are typical challenging behaviors at various stages of development? At what point do behaviors become those which require intervention?
