Building Pathways to Healthy Minds is ChildBuilders’ comprehensive, collaborative approach to promoting mental health in our community. In addition to our school-based child-facing programs, we offer a webinar series for parents/caregivers and a series for educators and school personnel exploring topics related to children’s mental health.
Connect Before You Correct
Parenting is about the day-to-day interactions we have with our children that build trust and love. This presentation will focus on connecting with your children while disciplining. Learn to set boundaries and hold children accountable.
Session 3: If You Choose This...
Why should we give young children limited choices and how do we do it? What is our role in ensuring our children learn the consequences of their choices? In this session, we will learn and practice a basic formula for Choices and Consequences, a positive discipline strategy that helps children learn from an early age how to make wise life decisions.
Session 4: The Power of Feeling Understood
How do you feel when someone “gets you?” Most of us feel safe, secure, understood, and cared for. Our emotions dial down and we no longer need to yell or hurt others. In this session, we will explore strategies for using the Reflecting Feelings technique for soothing and managing our children’s feelings and behavior.
