Parenting Programs and Seminars

Kids First’s free monthly Community Service Seminars are part of our commitment to supporting children, parents, carers and professionals in our community.

Presented by qualified experts in children's development, health and learning these valuable community service events offer parents and carers a unique opportunity to meet and talk with children's education and health specialists on site at our Children's Service Centre in Brookvale.

Community Service Seminars: February 2012

If you find it hard to understand why your child:

 - Frequently becomes emotional and throws tantrums
 - Bites or bang their own head
 - Mouths objects excessively
 - Has difficulty with buttoning and zipping their clothes
 - Loses balance easily and appears clumsy
 - Is frightened by environmental sounds such as a flushing toilet, vacuum-cleaner or dog barking
 - Eats a very restricted diet

This month's Kids First Community Service Seminar is for you!

Your child could have sensory integration difficulties... and in March, Occupational Therapists Dagney Hopp and Ellie Jamieson will combine with teacher Sonja Walker to give parents insight into what makes preschoolers tick.

This free event will be full of practical tips and advice that will improve your understanding of your child’s sensory, emotional and social needs

You'll learn easy strategies for supporting your child's social and emotional development, while also receiving advice and ideas that will help your child to engage with others in a positive and age appropriate way

Understanding your Preschooler's Learning and Development is particularly relevant for parents of children aged 2-5
