Children who can use self-control, forethought and self-reflection to stay on task have better learning success and the organization representing parents in School District 43 wants to share the latest details.
The ability to self-regulate is now recognized as being a greater indicator of life success than either IQ (intelligence quotient) or EQ (emotional quotient).
To find out more, parents are encouraged to join the District Parent Advisory Council for an information night on this topic on Monday, May 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Speakers at the workshop will include Lynda Swain, an occupational therapist who worked at Sunny Hill for 26 years, and in SD43 for 18 years, and Anne Lenarczyk, an SD43 teacher who works on self-regulation with children with autism.
The session will take place at Winslow Centre, 1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam and is applicable to parents of children and teens; it will look at developmental challenges that affect self-regulation in both of these populations.
You may register at dpac43selfregulation.eventbrite.ca or by phone at 604-939-3690, leaving your name, telephone number and number of people who will be attending.
