This webinar will offer encouragement, information, and perspective to new fathers as to what to expect in their new role as father. We will address issues related to the child’s development, the father’s development, co-parenting, cultural myths/pressures related to fathering, fears, opportunities, family of origin, and families with special needs. There will also be time to field questions and discuss opportunities and resources for continual support and encouragement.
Almost every parent has experienced a time when their child behaves in ways that challenge you. Join us as we examine children’s challenging behavior, why this behavior occurs and how positive guidance can prevent these challenging behaviors.
The science of early brain development is opening up a new window into our understanding of young children's development and how to best support it. In this session, we will discuss some of the new research findings and how they can be used to enrich the quality of care for young children. We will also learn about different initiatives that are using the science of early brain development to promote practices and public policies to support young children and families.
