In addition to helping you prioritize doing things you enjoy, this class will teach you new ways to think about your problems, and help you implement self-care techniques. The emphasis will be on the principles taught in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) that have been proven to reduce stress. By learning how to balance your own needs with those of the rest of the family, you can be a better parent.</div><br>Download Flyer<br>: <a href="https://guidingexceptionalparents.com/Flyers/Spring%202017%20-%20Lanham%20-%20Connections%20Therapy%20-%20ParentingFoundations.pdf">https://guidingexceptionalparents.com/Flyers/Spring%202017%20-%20Lanham%20-%20Connections%20Therapy%20-%20ParentingFoundations.pdf</a><br><br>WINTER 2017 LOCATION<br>Wednesday evenings, 7:30 - 9:00 pm<br><br>Jan 11, 18, 25<br>Feb 1, 8, 15, 22<br><br>The Pediatric Development Center<br>Silver Spring Office<br>12520 Prosperity Drive, Suite 210<br>Silver Spring, MD 20904<br><br>Cost: Pay what you can: $100 - $200<br><br>Register<br><a href="https://tinyurl.com/Spring2017ParentingFoundations">https://tinyurl.com/Spring2017ParentingFoundations</a><br></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top" id="gmail-m_8056099205079034803templateFooter" style="background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(250,250,250);background-image:none;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:50% 50%;background-size:cover;border-top:0px;border-bottom:0px;padding-top:9px;padding-bottom:9px"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="gmail-m_8056099205079034803templateContainer" style="border-collapse:collapse;max-width:600px"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="gmail-m_8056099205079034803footerContainer"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="gmail-m_8056099205079034803mcnTextBlock" style="min-width:100%;border-collapse:collapse"><tbody class="gmail-m_8056099205079034803mcnTextBlockOuter">
