FYI to all families:
There will be a Parenting Matters Conference held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI on Saturday, March 31st. This conference is presented by Bradley Hospital A Lifespan Partner. It is a day-long conference helping families tackle tough issues in parenting children of all abilities. Contact number: 1-800-927-1230. You may also register on-line at www.bradleyhospital.org. (Click on the link to the right for direct connection.)
Program costs: The registration fee is $25/person. Online registration ends March 23. Limited scholarships are available. Professional credits are available for educators. If you use code PM2007 there is a $5 discount.
Children do not come with manuals and are all so different. However, there are proven techniques to help make parenting easier and more consistent. Take advantage of this conference to reassure your current parenting techniques and introduce yourself to new ones. You will also be provided with situational tips and strategies to use with your child.
I do plan on attending myself. Even though I do not have children of my own, this sounds like a positive experience to gain and build knowledge on how to deal with children in a consistent manner. Hope to see some of you there!
Enjoy the evening ~ Ms. M

Hello Ms. Manchester,
I have attend the conference in the past and always found it informative. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this year.
I think the blog page is a great idea and hope the students will be able to get involved. Kids this age are drawn to the computer so it would be a great site to give access with confidence of the topics being discussed. I'm sure the students would like it too.
Keep up the good work
