Please join the Northeast PTO for an all-school conversation and parent seminar this Friday, January 26th at 8:30am in the Northeast Auditorium with our special guest, Evelyn Bilias Lolis, PhD!
- Learn about all the great activities we have planned for the second half of the school year
- Find out how to stay informed and engaged in the BOE proposed operating budget process
- Discover how Northeast could be directly impacted if the proposed budget isn’t approved
- Participate in an engaging seminar with Dr. Evelyn entitled, “Critical & Compassionate Communication in Parenting: How our talk turns into self-talk and why it matters”
How adults communicate with children during the developmental period correlates highly with a child’s developing self-talk, or the internal dialogue they carry with them (i.e., the little voice in their head) that ultimately lays the foundation for their emerging self-esteem, self-confidence, and sense of worth and belonging in the world. The journey of parenting is filled with the management of numerous high stake/critical conversations that impact a child’s assessment of themselves, their environment, and the safety in which they allow themselves to explore, learn, relate to others, and live a full life.
This seminar will provide parents of the NE school community with tangible skills in:
* Recognizing and anticipating critical conversations
* Understanding the developmental milestones of the childhood period (early child, school-age, tween)
* Empathetic listening
* Exercises for responding compassionately while still maintaining core family values and ethos
* Similarly teaching children how to respond compassionately to others
Evelyn Bilias Lolis, PhD is the Dean for the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) at Fairfield University and a Northeast parent! We hope you will join us!
*Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can begin promptly at 8:30AM
**A Google Meet link will be sent out via REMIND this week to join the meeting virtually if you are unable to attend in person.
