The Magic Years is a five-part, six-hour, researched-based parent/caregiver education program for parents/caregivers of children from birth – 4-years-old. Parenting topics include strategies on how to manage parent and child stress, understand the stages of child development, and how to best support these stages.
We will discuss how to set up (or better manage) routines surrounding bedtime, bathing, family meals and toilet training. We will better understand parenting styles and learn strategies for positive discipline tools that really work. The program also includes a nutrition lesson with practical tips to create healthy eating habits, and ways to save money at the grocery store.
