💙 VANGUARD ACADEMY PARENT WORKSHOP💙
🌟 Recognizing Early Signs of Emotional Distress in Children and Teens
Join us for an important parent workshop presented by Patricia Valenzuela, where we will learn how to recognize early signs of emotional difficulties in our children.
Children and teens often communicate their emotional struggles through changes in behavior rather than words. During this presentation, parents will learn to identify warning signs, understand what may be behind certain behaviors, and become more aware of their children's emotional needs.
Through practical strategies, reflection, and communication tools, we will discover how emotional connection, active listening, and a supportive home environment can make a meaningful difference in our children's mental and emotional well-being.

🌟 Reconociendo las señales tempranas de distrés emocional en niños y adolescentes
Acompáñenos en este importante taller presentado por Patricia Valenzuela, donde aprenderemos a reconocer las primeras señales de dificultades emocionales en nuestros hijos.
Los niños y adolescentes a menudo expresan sus luchas emocionales a través de cambios en su comportamiento en lugar de palabras. Durante esta presentación, los padres aprenderán a identificar señales de alerta, comprender lo que puede haber detrás de ciertos comportamientos y reconocer mejor las necesidades emocionales de sus hijos.
A través de estrategias prácticas, reflexión y herramientas de comunicación, descubriremos cómo la conexión emocional, la escucha activa y un ambiente de apoyo en el hogar pueden contribuir al bienestar mental y emocional de nuestros hijos.

🔹 The court process and what to expect when a case goes before the court
