February Nanny Training Recap
Yesterday, we held the second Free Nanny Training session in our three-part series on Child Behavior.
In this session, we introduced the Four Functions of Behavior, and explained how to figure out the reason behind a child’s problem behaviors.
January Nanny Training Recap
At Thrive Family Consulting, we kicked off the New Year with a new Nanny Training Series on Child Behavior. This will be a three-part series, with the first session’s topic being: The Science of Behavior and Positive Reinforcement.
We spent some time introducing the Science of Human Behavior, and the definitions of reinforcement and punishment. We then focused the rest of the class on the topic of Positive Reinforcement - the most effective means of changing human behavior.
New for 2022!
We hope that you and your family are enjoying a happy, healthy holiday season. As we approach the New Year, our thoughts tend to turn to personal growth.
At Thrive Family Consulting, we place a high value on continuing education, both for ourselves and our Nannies.
In childcare as with most anything, there is always more that can be learned; always a skill that can be honed. Even the best nannies can always learn, improve, and grow. This professional growth inevitably leads to the best care for your little ones. This is the reason that we love offering our Consulting Services - everybody wins.
In addition to Consulting Services personalized to your specific family's needs, we will begin hosting FREE monthly group trainings for nannies. These will be hour-long dives into common child-care related topics. Nannies will be able to immediately apply their new knowledge to their nanny practice, benefitting your child.
Each month as we wrap up our Nanny Training, we will post a new blog related to the month's topic, so that you and your nanny can grow and Thrive together.
We can't wait to see the great things that come to you and your family in the New Year!
