Change My Direction!
Early childhood development depends on the activities of the parents. Parents need to be encouraged and supported .To support our parents, one day workshops, sponsored by First 5 Riverside, presented information and literature to parents. With the increased need of quality, affordable child care and the decreased participation in preschool, we decided to present a more detailed series that taught parents how to aid in their preschoolers reading literacy development. Change My Direction! was created. The First 5-Riverside continued to support this effort with funding to expand.
Support from First 5Riverside has ended because of budget cuts but the workshops will continue. We are depending on volunteers, financial and material donations from you. We have added preshoolers to the Cause. Join the Cause on Facebook. Moving Young Men from Prison Beds to Corporate Heads! Return Home
| Did You Know?
Did you know your child had a reason for wanting you to read that book over and over and over and over again? Don't you wish they would tell you what it was?!
According to The Los Angeles Times Special Edition regarding the Reading by 9 initiative, Darlene Gunther reports, "When children are young, it is very common for them to want to have one book red over and over again. Don't refuse to read it - keep reading it as long as your child wants it read. He or she is getting something our of this book that is important." One day they are going to tell you. You probably still want understand but why should you? You are a parent!! Decrease the Stress!
Effective Black Parenting Classes
Attending this class does not mean you are a bad caregiver or there is a problem. It only means that you are interested in more tools to parent your child or children. We all want less stress in our lives. These are tools that work. There are different tools because each of our children have different personalities. What works for one may not work for the other one. If you are interested submit the form below. Tell us whether you are interested for yourself or a client (if you are a social worker or educator) |
