Beyond the Lecture: Applying the Principles of Adult Learning to Our Work with Parents

Date TBD

Details

The temptation to lecture to parents is great. Yet, despite how many times well-intentioned parenting educators tell parents what to do, parents' behavior does not change. In fact, parents may even start dropping out of our groups or canceling home visits.

Join us to review the principles of adult learning theory, and share with other Parenting Educators your most effective ways to engage parents in their learning.
