Tuesday’s Children invites parents to a full day workshop given by Charlie Appelstein, MSW, noted author and lecturer.
When: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 from 10am-3pm (lunch will be served)

Strength based parenting is a positive and inspiring approach to child rearing. It is based on the belief that all children and those who care for them – despite challenging life circumstances - have strengths and past successes that enhance positive decision making and social functioning. This upbeat, humorous, musical, and engaging workshop will present principles and techniques that help you maximize the greatness that exists in your child and family.
Topics covered include:
- What is strength-based parenting?;
- Decoding and reframing behavior;
- Verbal interventions that provide hope, possibility and enhanced parent/child connections;
- Strategies for building self-esteem in children;
- Tips for helping parents manage “number one” first;
- How to understand and respond – instead of react – to challenging behaviors.
