Winter Parenting Workshop Series
Parenting the Bumblebees: The Wonderful Years of Preschoolers
December 12, 2019 9:45-10:45am
Darien Nature Center-120 Brookside Road, Darien CT
Modern research shows that human connection and attachment are essential to feeling happy and healthy. Specifically, we need emotional connection with other people in order to thrive. It’s often difficult to be aware of your children's emotional and physical needs and respond appropriately and consistently. Join Amanda Craig, Ph.D, LMFT as she walks us through this developmental stage and the importance of being “in tune” with your child’s needs. We will discuss ways to build emotional connection in the family and survival tips for this developmental stage.

Parenting the Fireflies: The Wonderful Years of Tweens
November 20, 2019 9:45-10:45am
Darien Nature Center-120 Brookside Road, Darien CT
Tweens are ages 9-12 or the "forgotten years"-years when parents describe their rapidly changing child with phrases like "he changed overnight" or "she is secretive" or "he has emotional outbursts for no reason" or "her friend group is more important than her family". Overnight it seems our children turn into new people we don't know. Tweens need to have people and places to feel safe and supported through these years because in reality, tweens are confused, too! Join Amanda Craig, Ph.D, LMFT as she walks us through this developmental milestone before puberty discussing ways to build emotional connection in the family and survival tips for this developmental stage.
