The Learning Disabilities Association of Sudbury and the City of Greater Sudbury present an evening with Barbara Coloroso on April 16.
Coloroso is an internationally recognized speaker and author on parenting, teaching, school discipline, non-violent conflict resolution and reconciliatory justice. She has appeared on Oprah, CBS, NBC and other major networks in the U.S. and Canada, and has been featured in publications like the New York Times.
She is an educational consultant for school districts, the medical and business community, the criminal justice system and other educational associations around the world.
Coloroso has served as a classroom teacher, a laboratory school instructor, and a university instructor. She is the author of five international bestsellers.
She will be speaking in Sudbury starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Cambrian College Student Life Centre.
Her talk will be “an evening packed with solid practical advice for parents and educators of children from toddlers to teenagers, that shows how to create an environment in which children can become self-disciplined, compassionate, responsible, resourceful, resilient human beings who can act in their own best interest, stand up for themselves and exercise their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others,” a press release said.
“Barbara will discuss the keys to good parenting/teaching: treating kids with respect; giving them a sense of positive power in their own lives; giving them opportunities to make decisions, take responsibility for their actions and learn from their successes and mistakes.”
Admission to the talk is free.
