If you have a very young human in your world with capital-F Feelings, you won't want to miss this lively upcoming workshop: Tiny Humans, Big Emotions: A Conversation for Caretakers of Toddlers & Preschoolers.

Held in collaboration with the Northampton Parents Center at their space on Sunday, September 15, 3-4:30pm, we are excited to host expert Lauren Stauble M.S, a researcher and teacher and the local co-author of TINY HUMANS, BIG EMOTIONS: HOW TO NAVIGATE TANTRUMS, MELTDOWNS, AND DEFIANCE TO RAISE EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT CHILDREN.

At this event, Lauren will lead a workshop about the specific transition needs families face this season: "The middle of September is about the time when the honeymoon period starts to end in new classrooms and caregiving relationships," she says. "As parents and teachers, we start to feel disequilibrium about the challenges that emerge related to behavior.

"It's a great time to learn and practice strategies (for children *and* for adults) that interrupt—even prevent—the reinforcement of negative behavior and thinking patterns, and alternatively promote healing!"

Participation is FREE, but please RSVP to the Facebook event. Supervised in-room kids' activities will be provided.
