Nurturing Your Child's Emotional Health (NYCEH): Class 1
-
TBD, depending on class size
Recognize, validate, and respond to your child's emotions.
What strategies are best for cultivating healthy emotions? Aidan's School Counselor, Jessica Kwerel, in consultation with Denise Merkel, Director of Education, will guide you through John Gottman's handbook, The Heart of Parenting, as it relates to the RULER program implemented in our classrooms, to help you understand the importance of Emotional Intelligence. Learn to recognize, respond to and validate your child's feelings. Become practiced in ways to be empathetic, to set limits and to problem solve using his five steps of emotional coaching. Dedicate yourself to the five Friday morning sessions; the reward will be an enriched bond between you and your child.
The subsequent sessions will take place on January 26, February 9 & 23, and March 2.
