Helping Our Kids Learn Through Transitions

This notice has been posted on behalf of our Woodroffe School Council:


Helping Our Kids Learn Through Transitions
With Dr. Julie Desjardins

TONIGHT Thursday, February 18th  -  6:30 to 8:30pm

Where: Woodroffe Avenue Public School - Library

Whether it's a big transition like a new addition to the family, starting a new school, going to middle school, or moving, or small transitions like turning off video games or going to bed, all kids will be faced with transitions. These times can be frustrating and nerve-racking for any child or parent.

In this workshop you will learn strategies to help your children move through transitions smoothly and become more compliant and flexible. Easier transitions make the experiences go better and entire days run smoother.
