Too often our emotions get in the way when we talk with our children. During times when we’re seeking to correct behaviors, set clear limits and parameters, or guide them along a more productive path, our conversations with our kids don’t always communicate clearly what we want them to do. Additionally, the way we engage in these important conversations can frequently cause some inadvertent emotional damage – JUST when we want to empower our kids to do better?

During this presentation, school psychologist Dave Sylvestro, will focus on the overarching goals we have when we talk with our children in conflict situations, and how we can ensure that these conversations move BOTH parties toward more constructive and effective behavior patterns.

This event is free and open to the public, and registration is available on our websiteor by calling 203.899.2790 ext. 15902.
