"RAISING HEALTHY FAMILIES"   DVD       

Cindy Horgan, Family Support Coordinator at Cape Cod Children's Place and co-founder of the Parenting Station, is featured in a 4-part DVD, "Raising Healthy Families".   The 4 disc set portrays parenting workshops led by Cindy.

Topics include:  

            Disc #1; Understanding Development and Effective Communication
Understanding what is developmentally appropriate for our children helps parents have realistic expectations.  Being a good listener is essential in creating strong relationships.
            Disc #2; Understanding Temperament  
Understanding a child's inborn temperament traits makes a parent's job easier.
            Disc #3; Positive Discipline
Understanding positive discipline helps parents to promote an inner voice within our children, that creates self-control and develops their problem-solving skills.
            Disc #4; Understanding Anger and Power Struggles
Understanding the underlying emotions helps us to manage anger within ourselves and our children in constructive and healthy ways.
