Let’s Talk Mindfulness
May 13, 2019 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
BrightPath Airdrie
This session will outline and discuss the main concepts in mindfulness and how understanding the brain can improve 
self-regulation. Using a hands-on approach this session will teach skills related to these concepts. This session will discuss how the brain influences thinking, emotions and behaviour. Improved self-regulation can lead to better focus in school, better cooperation with others and improved self-awareness and self-control.

Little Kids and Big Feelings
May 13, 2019 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Family Connections Parent Link Huntington Hills
Guiding our children through their big feelings, responding to tantrums, and managing difficult behaviors can challenge all parents. Come hear about the Brain-body connection that helps children develop the skills of emotion regulation.  Understand more about why children lose control of their emotions, what it means to ‘flip your lid’, and the role of parents in helping kids with feelings.  Learn skills you can teach your children, and use yourself, to help your child manage big feelings.  We will use a combination of videos, discussion, and practice. This presentation will cover children pre-school through to 
school-age.

Understanding a Child’s Pain: What to Do, How to Help

25 Things Kids with ADHD Wished Their Parents & Teachers Knew About ADHD
May 22, 2019 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Alberta Children's Hospital - Theatre
Most parents of kids and adolescents who have ADHD try very hard to be compassionate and understanding of the nature of ADHD and its various effects on behaviour, mood, academic performance, and so on. What we can all forget, sometimes, is that somewhere in there is a kid who understands ADHD better than anyone else. This presentation is based on hundreds of conversations with kids with ADHD and their response to the basic – but critically important – question “What do you wish others knew about you and your ADHD?” Using their own words is a great place to engage in truly understanding the condition and developing more effective ways to work with kids, adolescents, and young adults who have ADHD while also framing the symptoms in a much more positive manner, so the focus is on strengths as opposed to focusing on the negative effects of ADHD. Strategies developed in collaboration with kids with ADHD will also be discussed.

Summer Slide: What is it and what can you do to prevent it?
May 29, 2019 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Alberta Children's Hospital - Theatre
Throughout the summer, many children lose as much as 2 months of reading skills. Known as summer slide, this learning loss can leave children, especially those furthest from opportunity, up to 3 years behind their peers by the end of Grade 5. In this session, learn how to keep children engaged over the summer to ensure they don't lose any ground in their learning and experience the joy of reading.

Healthy Relationships: How parents can help their children create positive and healthy relationships
May 29, 2019 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Springbank Middle School
This presentation will focus on how parents can help children develop positive healthy relationships in their lives. Healthy relationships among youth are key to fostering positive social-emotional development, as well as preventing bullying and other relationship problems. The qualities of a healthy relationship will be outlined. Strategies to help parents talk about relationships and promote healthy and positive relationships will be provided. The purpose of this presentation is to empower parents to have meaningful conversations with their children to build the parent-child relationship, as well as provide strategies that parents can use to help their children develop healthy relationships with other adults and their peers.
