How to Engage Children in
Conversation
Language acquisition is partly innate and partly learned, as
children interact with other people and the environment.
Parents can encourage natural language development by
providing environments full of language development
opportunities. Encourage interaction among children, because
peer learning is an important part of language development.
Learn about the important developmental language milestones
and how each child is different!
This Hot
Topic will give you the tools to be more effective with
encouraging language development. The way you engage with
your child in the first five years of life, will determine the
path that language development takes.
Early
Reading - Language & Writing: What is the Connection?
The strong connection between early speech and language
development and later-developing reading and writing skills,
has prompted the need for early identification and
intervention approaches. This seminar will introduce you to
the stages of speech and language development, and show you
how to recognize “red flags” or indications that your child
may have speech and/or language delay.
It will then
take you through the stages of reading and writing development
and introduce you to the prerequisite skills required for
reading and writing success. Some of the programs that will
be discussed are ZooPhonics, a program for early phonics
skills and phonemic development to assist with pre-reading
skills. Other speech, language and educational programs will
include Fast Forward, Lindamood Bell and Hanen programs for
parents. Learn strategies and tips on how to stimulate early
speech and language development and how to assist your child
in building on those skills for later reading and writing
development.

How we parent
our children reveals much insight as to how we were parented.
This class will focus on developing a re-parenting process
that ends the "cycles of wounding"; therefore not having to
repeat the patterns we experienced in our own families. It
helps you identify how you were parented and then allows you
to make conscious choices as to how best to parent your
children.
