Social Skills for Preschoolers
11:30 AM
Cooperation, sharing and emotional self control are problem areas for most preschoolers. At this age, many kids don’t yet know how to read social cues or empathize with a peer. They also don’t have the skills to compromise or verbalize how they are feeling. For these reasons, parents often must play the role of referee during play dates. Join Aletta Sinoff, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCBA-D, as she discusses specific ideas to increase social skills in preschoolers age 3 to 6.
Location:
Westlake Porter Public Library, 27333 Center Ridge Rd.

Strategies to Deal with Challenging Behaviors in Elementary-Aged Children

Did you know that all behavior is a form of communication and behavior that persists is usually working to the child’s advantage?

Join Sandra Curran, MEd, LISW, and Pam Spinner, MEd, at this parent discussion group as they share practical tools to help parents de-escalate the cycle of behavior.
