October 19, 2023, at Lincoln Elementary School, MSU Extension Presents:  Reducing Challenging Behaviors in Toddlers.
Toddlerhood can be a difficult time to navigate.  From tantrums
to biting, this program will focus on helping you decode what’s
going on in a toddler’s world to help make the “terrible twos” the
“terrific twos.”  This is a no-cost Power of Parenting workshop, brought to you by Children's Trust Michigan (Alpena CA/N Team), and AMA Great Start Collaborative & Family Coalition.
