Triple P – Positive Parenting Program

The Triple P-Positive Parenting Program® will be available to parents at the Louisiana Children’s Museum beginning September 17^th, 2011.  This program is a multi-level, parenting and family support model that aims to coach parents on discrete behavioral, emotional and developmental problems in children and enhance the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents.

Lead by local Leadership and Life Coach, Elizabeth Elizardi, these one on one sessions help create a stable, supportive and harmonious family environment.  Parents will learn to manage behavior positively, consistently and decisively as well as develop realistic expectations of their child.

Due to a generous grant, four thirty-minute Triple P sessions will be offered free of charge and are open to any parent with a child between the ages of birth to 7.   For more information on the Triple P program, or to schedule a session, please contact Elizabeth Elizardi at elizabeth@moreofme.net or call 504-400-9023.

Music Together

Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.

Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.

For more information or to register for classes, please visit www.musictogethernola.com.
