8:30am-3:00pm Session 

Parents play a vital role in developing SEL skills but typically have little or no knowledge of these skills. Participants in this workshop will be presented with strategies they can share with parents and guardians for developing the five social-emotional learning skills and their associated skills of successful people as part of their parenting.

These easy to use parenting strategies come from Jane’s new book Social-Emotional Learning in the Home. Some areas addressed in this workshop include:

• Resolve conflicts between parent/guardian and child.
• Resolve conflicts between siblings, and friends. 
• Initiate difficult conversations between parent/guardian and child, including asking questions that develop higher-order thinking and deep conversations about SEL skills. 
• The stages children and adolescents follow from initial exposure to an SEL skill to its mastery. 
• The research on school and career success that points to the significant positive impacts of social- emotional learning skills
