Franklin Grand Isle Building Bright Futures presents:
Scott Noyes: Routines, Rituals, and Transitions
Workshop for Parents and Providers

Monday, August 29th
6:30-8:30pm
People’s Plaza, Richford

Whether we are smoothing out the edges on "who had it first" or working with
the challenge of a full-blown temper tantrum, there are times when every
parent or provider could use a few fresh ideas. Bedtime hassles, homework
blues, and rousting the tardy are issues this workshop series covers.

Using alignment, active listening, and a little child development know-how,
parents and providers can support children through the tough times. Find out
why bribery, sarcasm, and threats don't work, especially in the long run.

This workshop is free, pre-registration is not required, and professional
development is available.

For more information, contact Patricia Hendee from Franklin Grand Isle Building
Bright Future at fgibbfdirectservice@gmail.com
or visit Scott Noyes’ website at www.EmpoweringPrograms.com.

Parenting Workshop: Genuine Happiness
Monday, May 9
Time and Place: NCSS Main Office 107 Fisher Pond Road St. Albans, 6 to 8 pm
Presenter: Scott Noyes
To Register: Contact April Wright at 393-6564
“Research is showing what qualities do and don’t have an effect on our genuine happiness. Does making more money, staying healthy, getting as much education as possible or living in a sunnier climate actually make us more happy? Advancing to the higher range of your sustainable happiness can be achieved by feelings you consciously choose to associate with the past, present, and future. Realizing that we are capable of changing our emotional satisfaction with life puts us in control of making choices that will alter the way we look at being human. How could these psychological behaviors influence raising children? What can we do to help develop authentically happy children? Pleasures and gratifications are distinctly different behaviors. Where in the daily care of children can we increase gratification while stopping the emphasis society puts on pleasures? This presentation may change the way you look at your own happiness and how we teach others to be truly fulfilled.”

Baseball and Softball Game: There will be a game at Sheldon on Tuesday, May 10th. The bus will leave City School at 3:30. The first pitch will be at 4:15.
