Parent Workshop
Join our preschool director, Sherry Herrin, as she hosts a workshop on The Art of Inner Discipline in the Child on September 25th, time TBA, in the Parish Center (Ms. Brittany’s Room). What does supporting the development of your child’s inner discipline look like in practice, both in the classroom and at home? It means discipline isn’t about taking away something; it’s about repeatedly teaching the child what to do instead, as well as illustrating the natural consequences of actions. Free childcare and light refreshments will be available.
