Raising Confident, Competent Children

April 20

The values, skills and behaviors to encourage in children are the choice of every individual parent. However, some core skills are important for everyone. Children are more likely to be confident, succeed in school and get along with others when they develop certain life skills. These life skills include being respectful and considerate, communicating well with others, thinking positively and having healthy self-esteem, being a good problem solver, and becoming independent and able to do things for themselves. Join the School Readiness Program, AT NO COST, through Zoom as we provide ideas on how to help children learn these important life skills and become confident and competent individuals.
