What do you think about when holidays approach? Special food? Decorations? Time with friends and family? Traditions to be visited or created? Or do you find yourself stressing over how “this year will go?” Holidays can be a time filled with joy and great memories, but for some individuals with special needs and their families, the holidays can mean a time of stress, unpredictability, and concerns over meeting expectations of what a holiday “should” be. Preparing your child in advance can help make your holiday, whatever it might be, less stressful and more joyous. Join us for our December Parent Academy where we will share tips and guidelines for dealing with the changes in routines; extra stimulation from different sights, smells, and sounds; increased level of activity and getting ready for happy holiday visitors and events that can be enjoyed by all. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation all are welcome to attend.

We know families are only as healthy as parents. As service
providers for children, we may encounter parents struggling with
mental health issues, high levels of stress, the impact of
trauma, or their own developmental disability. These issues can
make it challenging for parents to meet the complex needs of
their children. Sometimes it’s difficult for providers to know
how best to support a family when one or both parents are in
need of their own support.
In this Provider Academy our presenter, Dr. Barbara Sprout, will
explore some of the family dynamics that service providers may
encounter when working with caregivers – and provide tips on
person-centered strategies for building relationships, addressing
barriers, and engaging with parents to implement those self-care
skills that foster healthier families and will help their children
thrive.
Dr. Sprout is director of CBEM Ukiah, serving Lake and Mendocino County. CBEM is a vendor of
RCRC and provides crisis services and individualized supports to clients of RCRC with the purpose
of preventing and managing a crisis and to empower people to maximize their potential.

The next Parent Academy will be
November 17th (English) and 18th (Spanish) at 12:30 -1:45pm
Presented by: Easter Seals Northern California
Topic: How to Build Self-Control in Your Child: Increasing Social Emotional-Development and Self-Awareness for Young Children and Their Caregivers
Parent Academy Fliers (English / Spanish)
FIRST STEPS TO SCHOOL SUCCESS
We all know that feeling better about ourselves and valuing and appreciating others can help us build stronger relationships – but did you know that science is showing us that it can also boost scoring on standardized achievement tests at school by an average 11 points? That’s HUGE. Social Emotional Development (or Social Emotional Learning SEL as some call it) has also been demonstrated to result in improved attitudes about self, others and school; more positive classroom behavior; fewer conduct problems; less emotional stress and distress; and to lower the use and abuse of drugs in school-aged children. SEL is foundational for families who want to start taking steps NOW to begin building a brighter future for their children.
Redwood Coast Regional Center is pleased to host an upcoming FREE Parent Academy on Zoom presented by Easter Seals Northern California (ESNORCAL) on November 17 English and November 18 Spanish from 12:30-1:45 p.m. to introduce 5 key “stepping stones” for Social Emotional Development/Learning and to show how parents can support this learning in the home. Practical examples will be given and those participating will walk away with increased knowledge and new skills.
While Easter Seals focus is on working with children 0-5 years old, EVERY parent (and provider/caregiver) is welcome.
For questions and to receive the zoom link contact us.

La próxima Academia de Padres será
17 de noviembre (inglés) y 18 (español) a las 12:30 -1: 45pm
Presentado por: Easter Seals Northern California
Tema: Cómo desarrollar el autocontrol en su hijo: Aumentar el desarrollo socioemocional y la conciencia de sí mismo para los niños pequeños y sus cuidadores
PRIMEROS PASOS PARA EL ÉXITO ESCOLAR
Todos sabemos que sentirnos mejor con nosotros mismos y valorar y apreciar a los demás puede ayudarnos a construir relaciones más sólidas, pero ¿sabías que la ciencia nos muestra que también puede aumentar la puntuación en las pruebas de rendimiento estandarizadas en la escuela en un promedio de 11 puntos? Eso es enorme. También se ha demostrado que el desarrollo socioemocional (o SEL de aprendizaje socioemocional, como algunos lo llaman) da como resultado una mejora de las actitudes sobre uno mismo, los demás y la escuela; comportamiento más positivo en el aula; menos problemas de conducta; menos estrés y angustia emocional; y reducir el uso y abuso de drogas en los niños en edad escolar. SEL es fundamental para las familias que desean comenzar a tomar medidas AHORA para comenzar a construir un futuro mejor para sus hijos.
Redwood Coast Regional Center se complace en albergar una próxima Academia para padres GRATUITA en Zoom presentada por Easter Seals Northern California (ESNORCAL) el 17 de noviembre en inglés y el 18 de noviembre en español de 12: 30-1: 45 p.m. presentar 5 “escalones” clave para el desarrollo / aprendizaje socioemocional y mostrar cómo los padres pueden apoyar este aprendizaje en el hogar. Se darán ejemplos prácticos y los participantes se irán con un mayor conocimiento y nuevas habilidades.
Si bien Easter Seals se enfoca en trabajar con niños de 0 a 5 años, TODOS los padres (y proveedores / cuidadores) son bienvenidos.
