In this call, Certified Parenting by Connection Instructors Madeleine Winter and Kristen Volk answer questions on how Parenting by Connection can help your child start school with a strong and supportive emotional foundation. They focus on the Listening Tools of Special Time (for maintaining closeness through the big transition of starting school) and Staylistening (for the upsets which will inevitably arise as your child works through emotional tensions). Learn practical tools for helping your child meet the challenges of homework, separations, and making friends, and for getting the support you need to help them.
