Get a handle on those temper tantrums

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Because of the snowstorm forecast for Wed. Feb. 10, this event has been rescheduled for March 3.]

Some help for parents of “difficult” children… The East Haddam Early Childhood Council presents, “No I won’t and you can’t make me!” about handling children’s power struggles. The presentation is highly recommended for parents of children from pre-school age to grade 8.

Get ready to learn, laugh and have some fun seeing your child’s behavior from a different perspective with the help of Bill Corbett. His workshops and classes help parents and professionals examine what they currently have in their “discipline toolbox” and evaluate the fact that many of these tools are outdated or no longer work.
