Raising a ReaderRaising a Reader – Why is raising a reader so important? On a basic level, reading is a fundamental part of existing. Think about your typical day. How often are you reading something – street signs, reports, emails, grocery labels, medication, newspapers, websites, and stories to our kids? This workshop offers an understanding of how to engage your child in reading. Reading to our children routinely in their early years increases their language development and helps your child develop attention span and concentration skills. A child who reads well is more likely to develop positive self-esteem, independence, and many other skills needed to last throughout their life. About the G.E.A.R. Parent Network The G.E.A.R.

Untitled EventUntitled Event – “Understanding Child Birth Order”“Understanding Child Birth Order” – Birth order is a fun and interesting topic you may not have considered. Research shows that a person’s birth order has a direct link with his or her personality. These stereotypes on birth order may sound silly, but their foundation has an interesting degree of scientific accuracy. But does birth order influence personality, or is personality shaped based on the ages of siblings around them? Understanding birth order positions allows parents, guardians, and teachers to guide and support children and strengthen positive qualities. About the G.E.A.R. Parent Network The G.E.A.R.
