SUMMARY:First Connections: Helping parents understand and manage challenging behaviors in young children
DESCRIPTION:A free live webinar will be held on Wednesday\, May 14 at 7 p.m.  \nOur speakers will be Lynn St. Germaine\, an Infant-Toddler teacher for 37 years\, and Patricia Collins\, a preschool teacher for 25 years\, from Concord Children’s Center.  \nYoung children often act out for various reasons such as hunger\, tiredness\, frustration\, confusion\, or difficulty transitioning between activities. At times\, they may not have the words to express what they need\, leading to outbursts and meltdowns. These behaviors are not random-they signal underlying needs or developmental challenges\, like unmet emotional needs\, underdeveloped communication skills or lack of self-regulation. By understanding the root causes of challenging behaviors\, parents can respond more effectively and support their children’s emotional and social development. By attending this program\, you will gain an understanding of why children act out\, and learn strategies that might include creating predictable routines\, reinforcing positive behaviors\, and using calm and consistent responses to guide the children through emotional ups and downs.  \nTo receive the Zoom link for this FREE program email First Connections: lmatthews@jri.org.

SUMMARY:West Acton Historic Homes Tour
DESCRIPTION:Step inside historic homes and see and learn about many more as we tour West Acton! Once known simply as the “west part of town\,” in 1845 the railroad arrived in this section of Acton\, transforming the sleepy hamlet into a vibrant village of new commerce and homes. Today\, it retains much of its 19th-century charm\, including charming storefronts\, workers’ cottages\, and storybook Victorians. \nJoin us for this unique experience to see historic homes\, inside and out\, and immerse yourself in culture and history. Offered one time only! Space is limited. \nThis is a guided walking “happy hour” tour\, no libations but a lot of fun packed into an hour! (Please note\, this is an approximate time\, the tour may be slightly longer\, but Happy Hour and 15 Minutes doesn’t have the same ring…)

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Pine Hawk Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Acton’s most significant archaeological discovery\, the Pine Hawk site in South Acton. The site was inhabited by Native Americans for over several thousand years and yielded a treasure trove of artifacts. Doug Halley was the Acton official most involved as the discovery of this site unfolded over 20 years ago. He will describe that process of discovery\, its significance\, and how the project activated an increased interest in historical preservation\, such as the Trail Through Time in North Acton. Doug also created an award-winning exhibit about Pine Hawk\, which can be seen today on the ground floor of the Acton Memorial Library. This program is presented with support from Acton Memorial Library and Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. \nThis event is free and does not require registration. It will be recorded for future viewing at https://www.pinehawk.org/videos/. Questions? Email friends.of.pinehawk@gmail.com
