Conscious Discipline - Composure
The Power of Perception helps us shift how we see behaviors in our children, significant others and ourselves. When we lean into the Power of Perception, we can access our Skill of Composure, which helps us unhook ourselves from an upset state so we can be helpful to children.
Tuesday, Jan 27th, 6:00-7:30PM
Book Club - Good Inside (Part 1)
Dr. Becky Kennedy, wildly popular parenting expert and creator of @drbeckyatgoodinside, shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids and offers practical strategies for parenting in a way that feels good.
Monday, Feb. 9th, 6:00-7:30PM
A StoryWalk® is a fun way to combine reading with physical activity. The story unfolds as you hike along the path reading signs created from pages of books. Our StoryWalk® is a collaborative project between the Cragin Memorial Library, C3, The Colchester Garden Club, the Colchester Land Trust, and the Town of Colchester. Durable, weatherproof permanent stations were purchased and installed by Jack Boyden with help from Troop 72 as his Eagle Scout Project. Visit Cohen Woodlands soon to discover books in an active way with a new story seasonally.
