MVCS to Host Celebrate Calm Workshop

Please join us for a special "Celebrate Calm" workshop with Kirk Martin: Stop Defiance and Disrespect in Your Home: Eliminate Power Struggles and Sibling Fights. The presentation will take place at the Mount Vernon Community School Auditorium on two days:

• Tuesday, January 21 from 7-9 p.m.
  
• Wednesday, January 22 from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m.

Childcare on Tuesday night will be provided in the cafeteria — please register for childcare at http://www.acps.k12.va.us/face-centers/ or call 703-824-6865.

The Celebrate Calm workshop is not your typical parenting workshop. Kirk Martin will tackle the most challenging issues (defiance, disrespect, bullying, sense of entitlement, sibling fights, and more) with specific, concrete strategies that work in the real world. You will leave with a dozen practical strategies that really work to:

• Get your kids to listen the first time.
• Eliminate power struggles and yelling.
• Stop defiance, disrespect, and sibling fights.
• Get kids off video games/screens without a fight.
• Create stress-free mornings, homework time, and bedtime.

Please spread the word to other parents in our area — this is a free event and you don’t have to have a child at MVCS to attend.

This event is sponsored by the Mount Vernon Community School PTA and the ACPS Family and Engagement (FACE) Center.

Mount Vernon Community School is located at 2601 Commonwealth Ave. in Alexandria, VA.
