"Toddlers, never a dull moment; let us give you the play by play."

At the nest we believe that it is the toddler&#146;s job to be an explorer. Is your toddler&#146;s favorite word no? At this stage, toddlers are trying on and experiencing feelings for the first time. The task at hand is to help them make meaning of this new world of emotions by allowing them to safely explore.

Understanding who your child is, who you are as a parent, and developing a discipline style is a long term process. This group will define your expectations and determine each group member&#146;s parenting style. In each session you will learn about your child&#146;s development and social emotional growth in relation to their family and their peers. We will walk you through:

1. Engaging a toddler&#146;s desire to explore and try new things.
2. Discovering how to respond to a toddler&#146;s big feelings.
3. Techniques that work to soothe toddler&#146;s emotions, as well as your own. 
4. Equipping your child with &#147;Emotional Intelligence.&#148;

You will experience &#147;couture parenting&#148; 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. 
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.
