Event Description

Child rearing practices have changed over time. You raised your children and are now helping to care for your grandchildren while their parents are at work. Join Cara Weiner, Cornell Cooperative Extension parent educator, to learn what today's child development research recommends for young children regarding discipline, brain development, sleep needs, safety issues, and screen use (smart phones, computers). Positive communication between parents and grandparents is critical, and effective methods will be discussed.

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. The URL for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants upon completion of registration and also one day prior to start time.
