In September, we held our annual parent training taught by
Dr. Patricia Nan Anderson. Our topic was, "How to Talk Your
Way to Better Child Behavior."
​
"Children don’t listen. Children don’t remember what you’ve told them. Talking to children often doesn’t seem to do any good, and that’s why you feel frustrated and impatient. But here’s an easy solution to children’s behavior: better communication. If you’ve fallen into poor communication habits – and, really, who hasn’t? – this session will remind you of the importance of what we say and how we say it, and give you quick tips you can start using today."
