Raising a Thinking Child – Program for Parents

Published on by ADAM JOHN TRUNZO

Raising a Thinking Child

If you are a parent of a 4-7 year-old and your child has experienced any of the following:

  • Temper tantrums
  • Difficulty making or keeping friends
  • Impatience or interrupting
  • Not listening

Then the Raising a Thinking Child workshop may be just right for you! This evidence-based workshop series will help you guide your child to solve common, everyday problems by communicating with your child.

This program is FREE and includes dinner and childcare for youth 2+ years old!

Participants will learn:

  • To give their children skills to solve their own problems and think about the consequences through fun games
  • How to help kids care about and understand their own and others’ feelings
  • This program is facilitated by Adam Trunzo, UW-Extension Youth & Family Educator.
  • It is a refreshingly practical curriculum that helps you help your child learn how to think, not what to think.
  • Through 5 weekly classes, along with interactive, fun activities for you and your child to do at home, you will learn how to help your child think in new problem-solving
