Parent Workshops
Milestones, Routines, and Independence
September 6 & 13, 5-7PM
Eva Al-Qallaf is a former Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher, and currently works as a parenting coach. She is a co-founder of Parentool which provides resources for parents and teachers to help develop the whole child at home and school. In 2017 Eva completed the STEP Leader Training Program in San Diego California. By facilitating parenting courses she has come to understand the needs of parents in raising children and how to support those needs. Now, during this pandemic, Eva understands that parents are facing challenges they haven’t dealt with before. She will be offering two, two hour workshops on developmental milestones and how to set up a routine at home that fosters independence. Right now parents are expected to be both caregivers and teachers while schools are closed. Creating a proper routine is extremely important for a child’s well being emotionally as well as academically. This is a daunting task, and understanding age-appropriate practices will help parents more easily and successfully tackle it.
Session 1: Eva will explain what are milestones and what are age appropriate expectations based on milestones. She will focus on ages 0-6. After a brief lecture, Eva will open the floor to discussion. This is a chance to ask specific questions and brainstorm ideas to improve your unique situation.
Session 2: This session will use material discussed in session 1. Eva will talk about the importance and benefits of having a routine. She will offer some tips and tricks to establish a proper routine at home for your child(ren). Then Eva will give advice on how to foster independence at home. Finally, there will be an open discussion and group brainstorming.

Baby Led Weaning

Carri Al-Humaidhi will be teaching a course on Baby led weaning. Carri will be discussing the benefits of BLW as well as practical methods to implement it. The transition from milk to solids can be confusing for parents who are unsure of which method or nutritional program to follow.
