Being different is one of our greatest gifts. Sometimes generational gaps can create feelings of disconnection, isolation, and confusion. Children, adolescents and families who feel disconnected from their own culture or the culture they encounter in their environment may find it difficult to connect with peers and develop healthy social relationships. They may also struggle to understand society’s norms and expectations, leading to low self-esteem or even depression.

Additionally, cultural gaps can lead to misunderstandings, and miscommunication, affecting mental health. In the workshop, we will create the opportunities to learn from our differences and to create the best possible world for our family.

This workshop is for parents or caregivers of children starting kindergarten soon. We provide information and resources that are needed to ensure all children are given their best chance to begin Kindergarten ready to learn. There are fundamental skills your child needs to be successful in kindergarten. Children who are prepared academically, socially, cognitively, and physically before starting kindergarten are more likely to excel.

Come learn what you can do to prepare your child. It’s never too early to start.

It is never too early or too late to start introducing, explaining and motivating your student to consider the opportunities and benefits of going to college. We will share strategies, resources and tips to help you begin these conversations with your students.
