Toddler Workshop

Parenting a Toddler (11-30 months old) with Meredith on Sunday, February 24th, 10AM – noon at Tamid in Tribeca.

Having kids can get a little crazy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be happy, productive, and sane. It is your life going by, after all. It helps to have some guidance. Next month, downtown parenting expert Meredith Fien Lichtenberg hosts a TODDLER PARENTING WORKSHOP where we’ll:

• review four basic principles of living with a toddler, so you can use your energy wisely, and not waste a lot of time arguing, demanding, controlling, capitulating, feeling ineffectual and sounding like a two year old yourself!

• do hands-on role-playing exercises to play out real scenarios, and learn how to apply the stuff we all already know to real life situations.

• talk about all the fun stuff: Why your child resists getting her teeth brushed and what to do when she shuts her mouth tight. Why your iPhone is the most appealing thing. What to do when she screams whenever you try to have a conversation with your spouse. How to cope with the daily throw-down when it’s time to put on his coat. Dirty secrets about bedtime, nighttime, picky eating, playground politics, potty learning and new siblings. Yay.

This is about learning to understand what’s going on in your child’s mind and make the most of your interactions, so you can get a little sanity back, without worrying that you’re creating a future monster. Once you get them, toddlers are actually pretty delightful.
