Empowering Parents, Engaging Learners

Description

Additional Information

It’s a tough time to be a parent right now, juggling your work and your child’s learning in the middle of a pandemic. Some children are back to school and some are learning remotely. If you’re looking for ideas to make things easier and more fun Dr. Debbie Pushor can help! 

This presentation will focus on empowering parents and engaging children and working together with your child’s teacher. She’ll talk about having fun with your child while incorporating learning into your everyday activities, whether that’s baking bread, making a blanket fort, or building a new project in your backyard. Your kids are already learning from you all the time, and your role as their parent is important and special. You’ll learn about the many ways you are already supporting your child’s learning in authentic and meaningful ways, and increase your confidence in supporting them as you enjoy time with them this Fall, in or out of school.
