Spirited Child Workshop

You are invited to join Oconto County parents and childcare providers involved with “more” children.  Do you have or know of a "spirited" child?  Is the child more intense, emotional, persistent, active, moody, loud, anxious, frustrated, a perfectionist?  If so, you may be dealing with a Spirited Child.
Join us to share coping skills and strategies that will help you and them thrive.  We are offering this workshop in Oconto Falls, so register today.
