 n5:00 - 5:30 pm - Registration, Dinner & Resource Tables \n\n\n5:30 - 7
 :00 pm - Session A                                              \n\n\n7:15 
 - 8:45 pm - Session B\nChoose TWO of the following classes: \n\nThe Toddler
  Years (ages 0-2): Building New Bonds (Session A only) - Children experienc
 e tremendous growth in the first two years. Parents play a critical role fr
 om nurturing an infant to helping a 2-year-old deal with limits and temper 
 tantrums. Learn more about the physical and emotional development patterns 
 in this stage of your child's life.\n\n\nThe Early Years (ages 3-5): Creati
 ng a Blueprint for Success - What a child experiences and learns between th
 e ages of 3 and 5 form the foundation for future growth. Understand the phy
 sical and emotional development patterns of the young child and the adult’s
  role in helping children grow up healthy.\n\n\nThe Elementary Years (ages 
 6-11): Foundation for Healthy Growth  - During these years, children learn 
 to solve problems for themselves and gradually develop their independence. 
 Learn to balance your child’s need for structure and support while helping 
 them build the skills necessary to problem solve and make good choices on t
 heir own.\n\n\nThe Teen Years (ages 12-19): Framing Boundaries and Expectat
 ions  - Adolescent years can be a frustrating time for everyone. As an adul
 t, you may want to help, but don’t know how. Find new ways to manage both r
 espect for your teen's search for identity and the increased need for indep
 endence with appropriate rules and limit setting.\n\n\nParenting the Love a
 nd Logic Way® - Love and Logic provides simple, practical techniques to hel
 p parents change a child’s behavior for the better. Parenting the Love and 
 Logic Way provides loving support from parents while at the same time expec
 ting kids to be respectful and responsible. Kids will become more self-conf
 ident, accountable, and better at making decisions.\n\n\nEmpowering Success
 ful Kids: Raising Confident, Caring Young People - As parents, we spend a l
 ot of time thinking about what we don't want our children to do or become. 
 It's even more important, though, to have a clear idea of what we do want. 
 Using a strengths-based framework, we can work together to help raise healt
 hy kids.\n\n\nStress Busters for Parents: Put Your Oxygen Mask on First - P
 arenting children of any age can be stressful. With the stress of parenting
 , jobs, relationships, and finances, your physical and emotional well-being
  can be impacted. We often think of our own emotional needs last. When the 
 stress in your life feels overwhelming, it’s time to take a break and take 
 a breath. Learn to take stock and identify what in your life you can contro
 l. Learn tools to refocus, take action, and move forward in a healthy, prod
 uctive way.\n\n\nThe Teen Brain: What Are They Thinking? – Do you find your
 self constantly asking your teen, "What were you thinking?" Together we wil
 l solve the mystery by exploring the brain development and behaviors of you
 ng people, and how we can impact 'new pathways' through positive experience
 s. We'll talk about scientific findings with easy-to-understand terms and l
 earn new ways to better understand and connect with our young people.\n\n\n
 Parenting After Trauma (Session A only) - Trauma in childhood may take many
  forms: neglect, separations, witnessing or experiencing violence, natural 
 disasters, or accidents. Children who have experienced trauma often display
  behaviors that are mistaken as defiance or disrespect and may need a diffe
 rent approach with additional understanding, care and support. Whether you 
 are a birth parent, adoptive or a kin parent, learn what experts say about 
 early trauma to help you care for your child and build a home of safety, st
 ability, and love.\n\n\nCreative Co-Parenting (Session B only) - Co-parenti
 ng can give your children stability and connection with both parents—but it
 's rarely easy. Setting aside your own relationship issues in order to co-p
 arent can be stressful. In this class, we’ll delve into communications, man
 aging your stress, handling conflict, solving problems, helping your childr
 en transition between homes, and much more.\n\n\nParenting in a Digital Wor
 ld  - Experts estimate that we see and hear more than 7,000 media messages 
 every day. How can you know what’s influencing your child? The apps and tex
 ts kids use can help them build each other up or can bully and shame. Learn
  about some of the media they’re using, how you can monitor their usage, an
 d offer them support.\n\n\nHelping Your Child Tame Their Anxious Mind  - Do
 es your pre-teen/teen struggle with stress and anxiety? Come learn a few te
 chniques to help your child tame their anxious mind. We will discuss and pr
 actice effective coping skills including mindfulness and relaxation and you
 ’ll learn how to teach these skills to your child. This class is for parent
 s and caregivers of children ages 12-19.\n\n\nNEW! How Good Nutrition and L
 ifestyle Decisions Can Support Learning, Mood, and Decision-making (Session
  B only) - The way our children’s brains function and their ability to focu
 s, remember and learn, can be significantly affected by what they eat. This
  class provides information, ideas, and tips for busy parents on how to inc
 rease children’s learning and engagement through nutrition.  You will learn
  about our food system, how to make simple changes to support learning and 
 mood, along with easy recipes to make at home.  \n\n\nNEW! How To Help Your
  Kids Feel Safe When Their World Feels Out of Control (Session B only) - Af
 ter any type of mass tragedy, parents and caretakers often struggle with wh
 at to say and what to share with their children. How do we keep kids safe a
 nd secure in a world that doesn’t feel safe and secure? This class will cov
 er how to help kids cope, what vicarious trauma is and how to spot it, how 
 to communicate openly and appropriately, and available resources to address
  these situations with children of all ages.\n\n\nNEW! Caring for LGBTQ You
 th (Session A only) –Children who identify as LGBTQ or who are gender non-c
 onforming need the same unconditional love and support from their parents a
 nd other caring adults as all children do. This class will help parents nav
