Attention parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers and day care providers.
Saint Rose of Lima Women’s Club welcomes Dr. Jeanine Fitzgerald of the The Fitzgerald Institute of Lifelong Learning for a presentation entitled Why Do They Do That? on Thursday, March 5, 7-9 pm. This free presentation is open to everyone and will be held at Saint Rose of Lima Parish Family Life Center located at 244 West Main Street.
Learn tools that will assist you with children of all ages. Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded. While all children share common developmental characteristics, each comes with their very own set of designer genes.
This session explores a tool that uses observable behavior to recognize predictable patterns – our own and those of our children. The pattern is known as a behavioral style and it influences how we respond and interact with the world.
Dr. Fitzgerald draws on more than 35 years of professional experience to empower teachers and parents to achieve more with young people. With experience as a certified teacher, mental health professional, and a mother of three grown children, she understands the promise of every child, as well as the diversity of their needs. She specializes in research-based strategies in educational leadership, relationship-building, motivation, preventing the factors that compromise the fulfillment of a child’s maximum potential, and implementing positive interventions in “real life” settings. She understands the daily struggles and frustrations of educators and parents, and honors the “hero within” each individual she has the privilege to work alongside.
