SUMMARY:First Connections: Threenagers presentation
DESCRIPTION:Ellie Springer\, M.Ed.\, will present a live webinar through First Connections in Acton about “Threenagers.”  \nAround age 2 1/2-3\, children’s behavior becomes newly challenging and parents may wonder\, “Who is this child?” Three year olds begin to fiercely assert their independence\, while at other times cling to adults and want help with tasks they have been able to do on their own for months. They can have BIG emotions that change all the time\, shifting from gleeful to devastated to furious within minutes.  \nIf you have a child in this stage\, or about to enter it\, join us to learn what is typical at this stage\, how to support your child through it\, and how to make life a little smoother for your family. To receive the Zoom link for this program\, email Linda at lmatthews@jri.org.   \nThis free program is funded by the Mass. Dept. of Early Education and Care. \n
