THIS GROUP IS NOW FULL -  CALL US TO ADD YOUR NAME TO THE NEW GROUP STARTING SOON


"Your preschooler has lots of questions; let us help you with the answers."
At the nest we believe that preschoolers have a mind of their own. The transition into preschool opens up a child’s world to new concepts, language, creative exploration, and social relationships. Preschoolers thrive on trying different roles and arriving at their own solutions. We will help you choose your battles so that your child will be open to your guidance and still feel they are making their own choices.
Understanding who your child is, who you are as a parent, and developing a discipline style is a long-term process. This parenting group will define your expectations and determine each group member’s parenting style. The group is led by child development experts, infant mental health specialists, and marriage and family therapists. In each session, you will learn about your child’s development and social emotional growth in relation to their family and their peers at school. We will walk you through the following:
•	Engaging your preschoolers’ inquisitive minds.
•	Developing answers for the difficult questions (ex. Death & Sexuality)
•	Developing family rules and roles and setting boundaries. 
•	Techniques for dealing with emerging challenging behaviors.
•	Equipping your child with “Emotional Intelligence.”
You will experience “couture parenting” as we partner with you in discovering a discipline style that fits your family. Week to week we will check in with you to assure that the interventions are working. At the end of group, each member will be clear on how to best make choices for their little one. Our goal is to help each parent feel confident that the choices they are making for their children are the right ones. 
This is a 12 week group. Cost $1200 paid in four week increments of $400.  This group is run by both our clinical and program director both development and infant mental health experts, marriage and family therapists and moms.  One will be with the children the other with the parents, both members of the family benefitting from their coaching and process. 
The $40 Registration charge applies to the initial screen/consultation ($100).  The screen/consultation determines the best group placement for the family’s needs.  All families/children must be screened prior to joining a group.
