Dr. Lawrence J Cohen, author of The Opposite of Worry and Playful Parenting, keynotes this day of parent education in Irvine this year, hosted by the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools (CCPPNS). This year’s convention theme is “Engage! Enrich! Enlighten! The Three Ns: A New Model for Education.”

Cohen also offers sessions about anxiety in kids, and the art of roughhousing (he co-authored that book as well).

CCPPNS conventions excite minds, inspire meaningful connection, and update key components of best practices for the education of children. Education for the next generation must reach horizons beyond the traditional Three “R’s (reading, writing, ‘rithmatic). The Three “N’s”: Engage, Enrich, Enlighten, grow minds and offer opportunities to take charge of learning. Learn how to integrate techniques that encourage ability and effort, and build the skills and confidence to negotiate an ever more complex society. A premier One Day Education Conference, within a family friendly resort, CCPPNS Convention 2019 offers teachers and parents an unparalleled opportunity to learn and play.
