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

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.
