"Shape Great Kids with Positive Parenting": Louise Hart, Ed.D. a recognized speaker, bestselling author and thought leader in positive parenting, will host an encouraging and uplifting parent education workshop on Thursday, Oct. 25th at Bentley School's Student Performing Arts Center in Lafayette from 6:30-8:00PM (1000 Upper Happy Valley Rd, Lafayette). Louise invites parents to join to learn how positive parenting develops the qualities, traits, and habits that bolster mental, emotional and social health in children. This research-based approach decreases negative emotions and behaviors, and improves relationships. Additionally, you will learn: to discover the leadership style that prevents risky behaviors; how to help youngsters develop social and emotional skills like empathy and caring; help them develop assertive communication skills; and consciously release the grip of perfectionism. While Dr. Hart's approach has application to all parents, it is especially relevant to the parents of elementary school age children.
