The Parent Connect | Spring 2021

The Parent Connect is a FREE weekly opportunity for parents and caregivers to talk with each other. 

The Parent Connect is a free, weekly opportunity for parents and caregivers to talk with each other, offered Thursday evenings April 8-May 13th at 6:30 pm. According to Human Development and Relations Educator, Pattie Carroll, the discussions will center on, “how to build skills in our children to understand their emotions, to make and keep friends, and to make fair and safe choices. These skills help children to positively participate in their family and community, help ensure school success, and help them develop a more positive sense of self.”

Each Parent Connect is facilitated by an Extension Educator and lasts one hour. Participants can join via phone or video-chat. Topics, such as, Making Choices, Take a Deep Breath, and Helping Children Identify their Strengths, are first introduced by the Extension Educator with examples of why this is important and how parents can build this skill. The second half of the hour allows for discussion and response among participants, to make The Parent Connect relevant to the needs and situations of each group.

Positive Parenting Program | Triple P

Pattie Carroll, Human Development and Relationships educator with UW Madison Division of Extension in Dodge County and colleagues from around the state are offering free virtual parenting program.

Let’s face it, parenting does not come with an instruction manual. Positive Parenting Program seminars will provide parents of children ages 0-12 years with a toolbox of strategies to raise confident and healthy children, build strong family relationships, manage misbehavior, and prevent problems from happening in the first place.

Parents participating in the Triple P seminar receive specific developmental and child development advice to optimize their child’s development. Each seminar can be taken as a stand-alone or as part of an integrated series.

Seminar 1: The Power of Positive Parenting Friday – March 12 12:00-1:00

Seminar 2: Raising Confident, Competent Children – Friday March 19, 12:00-1:00
