Join us for a workshop all about parenting toddlers! At this exciting age, children become very curious and their self-confidence grows as they begin to walk and explore their surroundings. They also become more effective at talking and forming sentences. It is during this time when many toddlers would love to test limits and say no. At this workshop, you will discover how children see the world and how you, as a parent, can overcome the typical challenges—such as temper tantrums and getting through transition times. We will talk about the developmental milestones, strategies on how to respond to toddler behaviors at different ages and stages, and so much more.
