Why do toddlers begin to ask, “Why?”

Our brain is divided into two hemispheres – the left and the right. The left-hemisphere loves order and is logical, literal, linguistic, and linear. The right-hemisphere is emotional, nonverbal, experiential, and autobiographical. Children work from their right hemisphere through age three. “But when a toddler begins asking ‘Why?’ all the time, you know that the left brain is beginning to really kick in. Why? Because our left brain likes to know the linear cause-effect relationships in the world-and to express that logic with language” (The Whole-Brain Child, p. 16).

Keep that in mind when your toddler keeps asking “But…why?”!

No more remembering to get your order form in on Friday, no more writing checks, and no more searching your child’s backpack for your order (or worse, not finding it!)!

This parent workshop will summarize how this book, The Whole-Brain Child, presents 12 key strategies that foster healthy brain development and leads to decreases in power struggles and misbehavior. “By understanding a few simple and easy-to-master basics about how the brain works, you’ll be able to better understand your child, respond more effectively to difficult situations, and build a foundation for social, emotional, and mental health” (p. 4). This book also helps parents find ways to thrive not just survive! Discussion time between parents is also an integral part of the workshop!

When: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

Where: Trinity Academy Assembly Room

Cost: Free for Trinity parents

It is Peg’s hope that you will gain knowledge to be more at ease in your parenting while also equipping yourself and your family members with more skills to navigate life. Her focus is to support families in areas of mental, emotional, relationship, and Christian development.

The Trinity Academy Rosary Group is a group of down-to-earth women who love our Blessed Mother. It is a wonderful way for us to connect with one another outside of the school environment, after drop-off on Thursday mornings. We talk a lot, eat a lot, and pray a lot (and our children love to play, too). We are all encouraged to come as we are!

We take turns each week hosting the group in our homes. If you have never attended Rosary Group or are afraid of hostessing, please don’t let that stop you……there is nothing more beautiful than mothers praying together with our Blessed Mother. “Be not afraid” …We all pitch in and bring tasty dishes. A spotless home is not necessary!

Please prayerfully consider signing up for a Thursday. Here is the link for this year’s dates:
