May 6, 2014: Coaching For Confidence, Presented by Dr. Maria Phelps, Educational Support Services, St. James Assiniboia School Division.
Shyness and anxiety are normal human emotions. Some children, however, are much more shy or fearful than the average child. For these children, anxiety may interfere with their enjoyment of school, activities with other children, new experi- ences (swimming lessons, birthday parties, etc.), and their development of independence and confidence. In this session, parents will learn about anxiety in children aged four to seven and gain useful tools to help your children overcome this problem.
May 27, 2014: Speech and Language Summer Activities, Presented by: Speech and Language Pathologists, Educational Support Services, St. James-Assiniboia School Division
Students who receive speech and language support during the school year benefit from continued practice over the sum- mer. The purpose of this presentation is to provide parents with simple, quick, and easy activities that can be done as a part of the daily routine. We will provide suggestions for helping your child continue to practice the speech sounds and language skills they have learned throughout the school year.
