This year, the Cohoes City School District partnered with Building Better Futures founder Dr. Jennifer Bashant to bring families free, one-hour, monthly webinars focused on an array of parenting topics.
Each of these virtual presentations are recorded, so even if you are unable to attend live, you will have the opportunity to watch the recording for 30 days. An email will be sent to you within 24-48 hours after the live webinar ends, which will have the link and password to the recording. Please note: You will need to register for each webinar separately.
“This is a great opportunity for our families to gain information on a variety of topics from presenters who have a wealth of knowledge and experience,” said Director of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Raychel Marcil. “One of the best parts of the series is that the webinars are recorded, so if you can’t watch them live, you can choose a time that is convenient for you.”
The final presentation and registration link:
Having a good understanding of emotions and what they feel like in the body is an important part of self-regulation. Does your child (and do you) have a well-developed vocabulary of emotion words, and are they (and you) able to use “I statements” to express those emotions? During this webinar, participants will learn how to develop for themselves and teach their children these important social and emotional skills. It is this emotional granularity that increases self-awareness, improves communication and deepens social connections.
