Parenting with Empathy, Kindness, and Compassion of Excess Screen Time
Screen time has a huge impact on how we parent and the development
of children to adults. What can you do to be connected and kind as you
help your children grow from babies to young adults? Gain simple ideas to
talk about your family’s relationship with technology and discover how to
interact with your children this digital age of parenting. This is an adult only
event - no child care is available.
About the presenter: Dr. Eric Skanson, principal of Cold Spring
Elementary in the ROCORI school district, was named Minnesota’s
2019 National Association of Elementary School Principals
National Distinguished Principal. As a husband and father of five,
Eric knows very well that technology and screens are here to stay,
he says, “It’s what we do with it that matters. Being present in the
lives of our children is what is most important.”
Why parent only
classes?
Kids don’t come with
instructions.
Parenting classes aren’t just for
new parents or caregivers; they
are designed to meet the needs
of today’s families by providing a
community and shared learning
experiences for moms, dads,
grandparents, and those who work
with children.
Classes offer families with children
ages birth through grade three the
knowledge and support needed
to work through the challenges of
many early childhood milestones
and help you raise confident,
cooperative and responsible
children.
Registration information can be
found on pages 38-39.

Picky Eaters - What To Do
We all strive as parents to get our children to eat a variety of foods that
are healthy. Learn how focusing on nutrition can sometimes unmistakably
lead to bad habits and messages that create picky eaters and children who
may grow up to have an unhealthy relationship with food. Information from
the book, “It’s Not About the Broccoli,” by Dina Rose, Ph.D. will be shared
with parents. Come away with strategies on how to create new habits and
healthy messages to lay the foundation for variety in your child’s daily diet.
This is an adult only event - no child care is available.
