UCA Unschooling Info Session
Monday August 26, 2024, 7 PM MDT 9 PM EDT
Come join us for a quick overview of "Unschooling" in Canada and an extensive "learner-centred" Q and A session over zoom!
Unschooling is where children direct their learning and curiosity becomes the curriculum. No motivation problems ever! Parents and children love learning when it is consensual and personalized.
Presented by Judy Arnall, homeschooling parent of 5 unschooled university students/grads.
Parenting Tip Webinar: The Good News Science of Screen Time
Tuesday August 20, 2024, 7 PM MDT, 9 PM EDT
Discover when children learn self-control and begin modulating their own screen time and how parents can help scaffold healthy screen and gamer habits. Learn how addictions manifest and why excessive screen time will not lead to addictive behaviour. We will also cover the many benefits of screen time and just a few cautions! This webinar is based on current brain research.
Presented by Judy Arnall, Parenting Consultant with Professional Parenting Canada
