Tantrums: why they happen and how to respond with calming presence
by Maria Ryabokon, Certified Parenting Coach, www.parentwithasmile.com
This talk is crafted to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence needed to support young children (ages 1-6) through intense emotions.
We’ll use the science of brain development and nervous system function to understand the underlying causes of tantrums. Parents will have the opportunity to reflect on their own reactions and thoughts to explore why witnessing tantrums can be challenging.
Finally, we’ll discuss a set of practical strategies designed to help you remain present and supportive when your child experiences BIG emotions.

Even if you speak Russian in the family, your children may refuse speaking Russian if they don’t have a good vocabulary, reading and writing skills. Children need structure and also the opportunities to use Russian language outside the family. That is why they take Russian lessons in our school.
Our experienced and talented teachers nurture children’s creativity and interest in Russian Language by finding great reading materials appropriate for the children’s age and skills (which is often very hard to do), organizing competitions, theatrical plays, discussing books and movies. The teacher will inspire students to practice and improve reading and writing skills, to learn grammar appropriate for this age level, to stimulate creativity in using the language.Price $140/monthto book a trial class email to ksenia@partyandcook.com
