Today on the blog, we wanted to make sure that you were aware of several new programs available starting in April.
The Ron Joyce Children’s Health Centre is a site of the McMaster Children’s Hospital in downtown Hamilton that focuses on child rehabilitation and children’s health. As a new initiative, the RJCHC offers virtual parenting workshops that are open to any parent in the community as part of their Infant-Parent Program. These workshops take place over 8 sessions and are held via ZOOM. They are free, but registration is required.
Here are three programs you can register for today:
COPEing With Toddler Behaviour – In this 8-session workshop for moms and dads of toddlers 12-36 months old, parents watch video clips, learn strategies to prevent and respond to challenging behaviour, and discuss these issues with the leaders and other parents.
8 weekly sessions on Zoom, 10am-12pm Saturdays, starting April 10, 2021
Right From the Start – In this 8-session workshop for moms and dads of babies under 24 months, participants watch video clips, learn how to read and respond to infant cues in order to foster infant attachment security, and discuss these issues with the leaders and other parents.
8 weekly sessions on Zoom, 12:30-2:30pm Saturdays, starting April 10, 2021
Circle of Security Parenting Group – In this 8-session workshop for moms and dads of children 6 months to 6 years, participants watch video clips, learn strategies to enhance the parent-child attachment relationship and improve child behaviour, and discuss these issues with the leaders and other parents.
