Back by popular demand, for parents and expectant parents at MIT and 
in the community:


Two workshops series are being offered this coming week, bringing 
popular presenters back to campus on parenting topics....

I.  A New Workshop Series on Setting Limits

A new three-part workshop series will begin this coming Tuesday 
(March 6) at noon that offers a variety of ideas and opportunities 
for problem-solving about discipline and limit-setting with children 
ages 3 through 10.

The series will be presented by Deborah Weinstock-Savoy, in response 
to requests from the community to invite Deborah back after a 
"sell-out" presentation on this topic last fall.

The series is free of charge and open to the public. Enrollment is 
limited to 15, and registration is required. To register, contact the 
Family Resource Center at frc@mit.edu or 253-1592, giving us your 
name, telephone number, email address, mailing address, and the name 
of the workshop, "Understanding Parenting Styles."  A fuller 
description is below:

------------------------------
Understanding Parenting Styles (Discipline with Style)
Three-Part Series
Tuesday, March 6, 13, and 20
12:00 to 1:30 PM
Room 16-151
Discipline is not a "one size fits all" proposition. Parents quickly 
discover that the limit-setting approaches that work beautifully for 
one child--or parent--fail miserably for another.  This three-part 
workshop will offer insights about how to adapt parenting techniques 
to meet the needs of each individual child, while remaining true to 
one's personal values.  Exercises will help participants to identify 
each child's natural personality style, as well as their own, based 
on Myers-Briggs Personality Type theory. Discussion will include 
exchange of ideas for setting effective limits while nurturing each 
child's self-confidence and self-esteem. Appropriate for those 
raising children ages 3 to 10.
Leader: Deborah Weinstock-Savoy, Ph.D., parenting education 
consultant, Lexington

II.  A Workshop Series for Expectant Parents

A four-part series continues this coming Thursday (March 8) at noon, 
and newcomers are welcome.  The series explores the practical and 
emotional challenges of preparing for the arrival of one's first 
baby, presented by Betsy Ross, a psychotherapist who specializes in 
new and expectant parenthood.

The series is free of charge and open to the public. Enrollment is 
limited to 15, and registration is required. To register, contact the 
Family Resource Center at frc@mit.edu or 253-1592, giving us your 
name, telephone number, email address, and the name of the workshop, 
"Preparing for a Baby."  A fuller description is below:

----------------------------
Preparing for a Baby
Four-Part Series
Thursdays, March 1, 8, 15, 22
12:00 to 1:15 PM
Room 16-151
While childbirth and adoption classes can prepare parents for the 
birth process and neonatal care, how do mothers and fathers prepare 
for the emotional and practical changes that follow a baby's arrival? 
This four-part series for women and men anticipating the birth or 
adoption of a baby will offer information and discussion on such 
topics as common maternal myths, normal and abnormal postpartum 
reactions, getting started as a parent, handling isolation, building 
a support system, and finding places to buy new and used baby clothes 
and equipment.
