The social emotional and academic development of children is an incredible process-as is the growth and development of parents! Give yourself permission to enjoy this process by trusting your instincts, learning from your blunders, laughing at your mistakes and imperfections, getting support from others, taking time for yourself and by having fun with your children. It’s the Incredible years with all of its tears, guilt, anger, laughter joy and love! The toddler and preschool BASIC series emphasizes parenting skills known to promote children’s social competence and reduce behavior problems such as: how to play with other children, social, emotional, academic and persistent skills coaching, effective praise and use of incentives, establishing predictable routines and rules and promoting responsibility, effective limit-setting, strategies to manage misbehavior and teaching children to problem solve.
