At Nemours, we’ve made a promise to care for all children as if they were our own. This includes not just clinical care, but any guidance we can provide in growing great kids.
Nemours pediatric experts share their knowledge at parent seminars featuring presentations filled with great information, parenting tips, and proven techniques. Then they will take time to answer your questions based on that evening’s selected topic.
When: 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Where: Delaware Children’s Museum
550 Justison Street, Wilmington, DE 19801
Do you worry your young child is too shy, too talkative, too passive, too aggressive, rude, bossy...the list goes on and on! Learn from a Nemours pediatric expert some practical tools and tips that can help you navigate your child’s ever-changing social development. We’ll also cover the “red flags” to look out for that may be signs of emotional difficulties.
This seminar is included with $2 paid museum admission , no registration required. Attend all three spring parent seminars (in March, April & May) at the Delaware Children’s Museum, and you’ll be entered in a drawing for a gift certificate to the museum’s gift shop.
A children’s activity that is supervised by Delaware Children’s Museum staff, will be offered for children of parents attending the seminar.
