Parents also learn how to build school readiness skills and so they can promote children’s emotional regulation and social skills. In the parenting groups, Karen Douglass, a trained Incredible Years® facilitator, will use video clips of real-life situational vignettes to support the training and allow for group discussions, problem solving, and practice exercises.  This program is limited to 12 participants.
