SUMMARY:Building Social Skills through Story Time – Sharing
DESCRIPTION:Time: 1:30-2:30 p.m. Specifically for: Kindergarteners (5-6 years)\, School Ages (6 years and up); Grown-ups Many children will be challenged by sharing. This special story time will focus on skills that are related to the topic of sharing with others.

Children will then have the opportunity to discuss the book through "process questions" to assist them in gaining from and relating to the values learned from the book. But don't expect really good sharing skills before age three. Play Partner: April Thompson\, Licensed Child & Family Therapist Grown-up Tip: Sharing is a huge lesson to learn. Start early by asking your child to share with you. It may get easier when playmates come over for a play date. Make it easy by having other toys to play with as options. But don't expect really good sharing skills before the age of three. RSVP: Register belowMinimum: 3 Children\, Maximum: 12 Children Fee: Included with museum admission

These actions will create a stronger neurological pathway to reading and help when your child learns to read from left to right. Fee: $10 per child

Your relationship with your child's teacher is important. Teachers spend many hours with your children every day. During this workshop you will have the opportunity to learn to "team up" with teachers and see the relationship as supportive in your child's development.

There may be times when you encounter a challenging teacher/parent relationship. For this scenario we provide tools to help parents "survive" the relationship and see it for the potential benefits it may have. Play Partner: Dr. Selena EmondGrown-up Tip: Learning to successfully communicate is important for grown-ups too. Dr. Selena will help you find comfortable ways to approach your child's teacher in order to help you both work as a team and better support your child during the school year.
