By understanding the roots of the temper tantrum, you will address the heat of the tantrum in a manner that promotes the child’s skills and improves your nurturing parent-child relationship. Implement the techniques at home, share your success and challenges with the group, exchange supportive ideas, and refine your tactics further. On Sept. 17, 24, and Oct. 1 at 10am in Classroom 3, Calvary welcomes Diana Bermudez, Licensed Counselor, to discuss TEMPER TANTRUMS as Learning Opportunity- how to teach self-control in the heat of temper tantrums.
