May 26: Let’s Talk: Parent-Provider Communication

Parents, childcare providers, and teachers both play crucial roles in the development of children. Parents and providers always want the best for young children, but sometimes their perspectives are different and they may have trouble communicating effectively. Learning how to communicate effectively can help children thrive by providing consistency as well as relationships that are supportive. This workshop will help participants learn strategies to effectively communicate and explore ways to problem solve communication challenges

Extension Extras for Parents are free online parenting workshops that provide guidance for parents and caregivers as they navigate the joys, challenges and concerns of parenting.

Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.

Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.

If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
