parent support
Executive function skills provide critical support for learning and development, and while we aren’t born with these skills, we are born with the potential to develop them through interactions and practice.
Through games and playful activities, children can practice and strengthen important executive function skills that will help them throughout their lives, including learning to focus their attention, strengthen their working memory, and develop basic self-control.
This session is for parents and caregivers of children ages 2 – 8 years old. Pre-registration is NOT required.
In partnership with Parkland School Division.
This seminar will introduce parents to the seven core principles of positive parenting. These principles share ways to create safe, engaging, and positive environments, strategies to manage behaviour and ways to support yourself as a parent.
For parents and caregivers who have a child with a disability.
Pre-registration is required.
As parents we all want to support our children as they grow to be kind and empathetic, but how do we teach them to be inclusive and accepting of others? It can be difficult to know where to start and who to approach with questions when we are not sure how they will be received.
Spruce Grove FCSS, Spruce Grove Public Library and Alberta Parenting for the Future invite you to join Eugena Macguire as she speaks on the topic of gender and sexuality. In this brave space we will increase our understanding of gender and sexuality issues; challenge stereotypes; identify appropriate language; and ask any awkward or scary questions. We will leave feeling more confident in our ability discuss gender and sexuality with our children and to help them build their understanding and empathy.
Registration is required, please register HERE.
