Nurturing Your Child’s Emotional Health from 6:00-7:00 pm

A child’s emotional state affects their performance at school, their relationships and their physical and mental well-being.  Emotions can be hard to identify, to move through and hardest of all…to talk about.  In this presentation parents and guardians will learn 3 Strategies to help develop resilience and emotional well-being in children.

The events for the week are funded by a Parent Reaching Out Grant that we received from the Ministry of Education.
