Concord Hill Workshops
CHS Parent Education Program: The ABC’s of Fine and Large Motor Development Wednesday, November 16th, 8:30am – 10:00am. Have you ever wondered … Just what does fine and gross motor development mean? What motor development is normal for my child’s age? Are my child’s motor skills ok for her age? If not, will she “catch up” over time? What can I do at home to further develop his skills? Just what does “self-regulate” mean? Rachelle Maisel, an occupational therapist and co-founder of Stepping Stones Therapy in Bethesda, will lead this interactive and informative program for parents.

YMCA winter workshops and YMCA spring workshops and classes are available for parents of preschool through high school age children to explore such topics as bedtime/morning struggles, lying, chores and sibling fighting. Parents will learn to identify the purpose of a child's misbehavior and develop effective discipline and encouragement strategies for positively redirecting these behaviors. These programs offer parents an opportunity to become familiar with the concepts of logical and natural consequences, mutual respect, encouragement, and goals of misbehavior. The group discussion format teaches skills to help improve parent/teen relations, develop teenage self-esteem, and promote responsible teenage behavior at home, in school, and in the community.
