Limit Setting & Your Child
D70 social workers and psychologists will offer a workshop on "Limit Setting and Your Child" at 7 p.m. on Feb. 1 at Copeland Manor School, 801 S. Seventh St., Libertyville, and again at 1 p.m. on Feb. 3 at the Educational Resource Center (ERC is the district office) at 1381 W. Lake St., Libertyville, across from Butterfield School. This workshop is for parents who have ever felt like screaming, crying or "whatever" in response to their child's behavior. District staff will explain why limit setting is important, how to set appropriate limits and how to balance love and affection with rules, limits and expectations. Discussion also will focus on what is hoped to be gained from limit setting, the differences between natural and logical consequences, and how to be creative in the choice of consequences. The workshop is free to District 70 parents or interested community members. It is repeated on Feb. 3, so please attend only once.
When Kindergarten and Preschool Meet
D70 kindergarten teachers and representatives from area preschools including Advocate Condell Child Day Care, Growing with Grace, Kinder Korner Preschool, and the Libertyville Cooperative Nursery School, met today to discuss curriculum and how the groups can work together to enhance the education of Libertyville children. It was the first time in many years that the groups met together to discuss how they can provide a smoother transition between grade levels and to make sure the curriculum is aligned.
