This workshop is for parents and caregivers of babies through to primary school children.
It will:
• Bring a pictorial chart of the stages of child development from birth to adolescence, then focus on birth to 9 years;
• Discuss healthy though sometimes difficult behaviours to expect within each age;
• Discuss practical ways to ‘meet’ your child in each stage;
• Bring examples of how parents can support from home, what is brought through the Steiner curriculum.
