Nourish Every Mind Breakfast May 17, 2017 Eastridge Church, Issaquah
In May 2017, parents are invited to learn more about PBSES (Positive Behavior and Social Emotional Support) and how you can use PBSES strategies at home. During this workshop, we will discuss a progressive discipline approach to conflicts at home. This workshop will focus on child brain development, creating clear and consistent limits, and strategies that you can use with your child or children.
There are three opportunities to attend this workshop:
May 17, 2017 Sunny Hills Elementary
May 18, 2017 Issaquah Middle
May 22nd Maywood Middle
The Student Support Coaches for the elementary and middle schools will host the sessions and they will start at 6:30 and conclude at 8pm.
What do YOU do when your child makes mistakes or fails?
How you answer this question can change your relationship with your child and your child's motivation and resilience. Join us for an exciting series of events this April as we host the NY Times bestselling author Jessica Lahey and her book: The Gift Of Failure. What to do next:
Read the Book: Get your copy of The Gift of Failure ASAP so you can read it before the debrief session. Issaquah Barnes & Noble has copies waiting for you.
Debrief Discussion: Join us on May 22nd at 7pm in the Swedish Issaquah Cafe (NEW LOCATION) to debrief your key takeaways from the book and/or her talk. See you then!
ParentWiser events are FREE for Issaquah school district PTSA members, donations requested for non-members at registration or at the door; sponsored by Issaquah PTSA Council, Issaquah Schools Foundation and Swedish Medical of Issaquah.
