Fall Parent Conference Night to Feature Parent Programs Offered by the Family Resource Center

In addition to the opportunities at WHS on Thursday, November 7^th, to see your Woodland friends and hold an extremely important meeting with your child’s teacher, you will also have an opportunity to visit our fall school book fair (open until 8:00pm. that night), and visit the Pod 5 Café’ for presentations by educators from the local Family Resource Center. 

 

Here are outlines for the 20-minute programs that will be offered by the Family Resource Center in a continuous rotation from 2:00pm. to 7:00pm. 

Session #1: The Nurturing Lifestyle – Taking Good Care of Yourself and Your Family

How can we create lives for our children that are full of love, caring, fun, happiness and guidance? Caregivers will explore the concept of “nurturing” and the positive impact that nurturing parenting can have on the family. We will discuss the need for caregivers to nurture themselves in order to effectively nurture their children.

Session #2: Meeting Needs and Changing Behaviors

How do behaviors tell us something about the basic needs of both adults and children? Caregivers will explore the direct connection between needs and behaviors. We will discuss the lifelong benefits of appropriately meeting children’s needs as well as the significant risks of routinely leaving needs unmet. We will also consider the needs of caregivers in this session.

Session #3: The Family Resource Center—Who We Are and What We Do

For hundreds of families living in the Lakes Region each year, the Family Resource Center of Central New Hampshire, a program of Lakes Region Community Services, offers respectful, non-judgmental education, early intervention, and support to assist families in their efforts to meet needs, make positive connections, and prepare children for success today and tomorrow because the Family Resource Center believes strong families lead to strong communities. Come learn more about the programs and supports available to families living in Belknap and Lower Grafton County.

Come out to WHS on Thursday and spend some quality time with your child’s teachers, and your friends.  While you are at it, round out your experience by visiting our book fair and Family Resource Center presentations.  We look forward to seeing you at Woodland Heights School on Thursday to reconnect, to learn, and to grow.  At WHS, we are all learners: children and adults alike.
