Empowered Parents: Stages in a Child’s Development

Henrietta — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:28:50 +0000

Kid’s don’t come with a manual (or else, I lost mycopy). In this workshop we’ll be getting together with parents of children at many different ages, and we’ll be talking about different stages of development every child goes through. Come compare notes and learn what to expect and what to look forward to. Terri Ball, our favorite Parenting Advocate, will be leading this discussion. Workshop will be held at SNAP in our classroom @ 1pm on Tuesday October 25th.

Welcome to the conversation.

Empowered Parent: Stressed, Are You?

Henrietta — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 05:04:58 +0000

This happening to you? Aches and pains, palpitations and dizziness, digestive problems, grinding your teeth, insomnia, breathing difficulties, feeling tired, frequent infections.

These are some of the physical symptoms of stress. Come to our next workshops at 1pm on October 12th and 19th – our Parenting Advocate Terri L. Ball will be leading a discussion on Stress: Causes and Cures. We had a great discussion the last time we had this workshop, so we’re expanding it to two days so we can share as much info as we can. Come join a great group of parents as we learn about ways to reduce stress, and share your knowledge.

As a parent, what do you do to avoid stress?

Again, it’s Tuesday, October 12 at 1pm and Tuesday, October 19th at 1pm.

See you there!

Empowered Parent Workshop: Tuesday, Sept 28 & Oct 5

Henrietta — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:22:50 +0000

Are you pulling your hair out over your kids behavior? Or is your child the one all the other parents point to and say “Why can you be more like little Cathy”?

Positive Discipline and Your Kids is the topic we’ll be talking about on Tuesday, Sept 28 at the 1pm free parenting workshop. Come and share your methods for keeping them on the “straight and narrow” and learn from other parents what are good techniques for working with your kids so that everybody stays happy!

We’ll be continuing the discussion (yeah, you know we can’t fit that discussion into just one session) on October 5 with More Discipline that Works.

Come early to get your seat. And… welcome to the conversation!

New Computer lab Hours

Henrietta — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:36:36 +0000

Heads Up! SNAP’s projects and programs are growing. Because of new space requirements of projects like Resume Wednesdays, then Parenting Group and the Grandparent Caregiver support groups we need to adjust the hours of the free access computer lab. After talking with some users of the lab we were able to come up with a new schedule. Starting February 8, 2010 until end of June the new hours for the free access computer lab will be:

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 12:30 to 5:30

Monday and Thursday, open all day as usual.

SNAP will still be open for business all day, and the lab area will be used for meetings, workshops and private counseling. Call us if you have questions, 718-694-6957 or send us a note on the “contact us” form.
