PRESCHOOL LECTURE SERIES
The 3rd preschool lecture will be held on Monday, December 11th, 9:00 a.m., in the MPR. Guest speaker, Sue Dinwiddie, MA, Human Development, will speak on ”I’m Talking…But They’re Not Listening.”
Ms. Dinwiddie will address how to practice positive speaking and new ways to listen which will encourage children to “hear” us when we speak. Gain new ideas of what to do when children are not following directions nor understanding limits.
She is a leader/teacher of parent education throughout the Bay Area; published two books on social problem-solving skills; taught classes in human development through Stanford University and Pacific Oaks College; and is the former Head Teacher at Bing Nursery School, Stanford University.
These preschool lectures have been extremely successful. The content of the first two lectures has been very edifying and parents have been very responsive.
