Parent Workshop: Developing Children’s Self Esteem

Join Dr. Rene Hackney of Parenting Playgroups for an hour-long workshop on promoting the development of self esteem in children. Topics covered will include how a sense of self develops, what is important for developing self esteem by age, and what parents can do to help in this process. In addition, the workshop will address how parents can offer new challenges for their children and build social skills.

This presentation is designed for parents of children from infancy through 12 years old.
