SUMMARY:Preventing Power Struggles with Preschoolers
DESCRIPTION:We all want to be in control of our own lives. But young children usually have very few opportunities to make choices about what they do and when they do it. They’re told when to get up\, what to wear\, what to eat and when to eat it\, where to go and what to do when they get there. Introducing choice into a young child’s life can be a powerful tool to promote improved behavior in your classroom. Come learn the five steps to using the choice making strategy and discover how easily you can embed choice-making opportunities into your classroom and short-circuit power struggles with your preschoolers. \nTarget Audience: Preschool childcare providers \n Thursday March 9\, 2023 @ 2:00 pm -4:00 pm (In person training session) \nDown East Partnership for Children (Auditorium)\n245 Lexington Street Rocky Mount NC  \nIn person- Capacity limited to 15  \n2 contact hours |Cost $5.00 per person \nFee and completed registration form must be received by Tuesday March 2\, 2023 \nTrainer: Shaquana Bynum\, Regional Healthy Social Behavioral Specialist

SUMMARY:Supporting Motor Skill Development  (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Motor Skill Development Gross and fine motor skills are connected. Gross motor skills encompass the large movements of the body\, and fine motor skills require precise movements of small muscles. For example\, if a child does not have core strength (gross motor)\, they will struggle with writing (fine motor).

SUMMARY:Preventing Power Struggles with Preschoolers (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:We all want to be in control of our own lives. But young children usually have very few opportunities to make choices about what they do and when they do it. They’re told when to get up\, what to wear\, what to eat and when to eat it\, where to go and what to do when they get there. Introducing choice into a young child’s life can be a powerful tool to promote improved behavior in your classroom. Come learn the five steps to using the choice making strategy and discover how easily you can embed choice-making opportunities into your classroom and short-circuit power struggles with your preschoolers. \nTarget Audience: Preschool childcare providers \n Monday August 21\, 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm (Virtual training session) \nFee and completed registration form must be received by Friday August 11\, 2023 \nCapacity limited to 15  \n2 contact hours |Cost $5.00 per person \nTrainer: Shaquana Bynum\, Regional Healthy Social Behavioral Specialist \n
