Kids pushing your buttons? Draining your energy?  Out-thinking you? Arguing?

Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at the Schwan Center for the Performing Arts at Marshall High School, 400 Tiger Drive, Marshall, MN

  • Community Presentation, 7 - 9 PM with a family resource fair beginning at 6:30.
  • After school seminar for teachers, 4 - 5:30 PM

This parenting presentation by Kindred Hearts is packed with techniques you need to stop the arguments and back-talk, guide children to solve their problems, and discipline with empathy and logical conclusions.

 

Kindred Hearts will provide practical tools and techniques that help adults achieve respectful, healthy relationships with their children and help them prepare their kids for the real world.  You will leave with specific strategies to begin using immediately.   

 

Kindred Hearts is a pediatrician-teacher duo, Dr. Karen Arrett and Heather Casella.  They are experienced with the Love & Logic philosophy which is dedicated to making parenting and teaching fun and rewarding instead of stressful and chaotic.

 

A variety of Love & Logic materials will be for sale that evening, also.  CEU and childcare training certificates are available. Click here for more information.
