"Big Emotions, Big Reactions: Understanding What Your Child Is Really Communicating (Ages 4-8)" focuses on helping parents understand what is often underneath behaviors like meltdowns, shutdowns, and big reactions during transitions. During this workshop, we will explore why these moments happen from a developmental perspective and how behavior is often a child’s way of communicating they are overwhelmed, their frustration, or the skills they are still developing. Parents will leave with a clearer framework for understanding their child, along with practical strategies they can use in everyday situations like morning routines, transitions, sibling or peer conflict, and emotional outbursts.This workshop is intended for parents and caregivers of children ages 4-8. Registration is required. Space is limited. Registration opens on Thursday, April 16.About the presenter: Madison Friedman is a Child Development & Self-Regulation Specialist. She has a Master’s in Education and Human Development with a concentration in Special Education. She is the founder of Elevated Minds Growth Center in Fairfield County where she works directly with children ages 3-10 and partners with families to build the foundational skills that make everyday life feel easier. This includes emotional regulation, social dynamics, confidence, and executive functioning.

Noted storyteller and journalist Mike Allen, former host of the popular podcast Amazing Tales About History, will walk us through the key people and events in Connecticut during our nation’s tumultuous march to independence, 250 years ago. Connecticut played an outsized role in winning U.S. independence from the British Empire with many prominent historical figures contributing to the formation of the new country. Connecticut was known as “the provision state” because of its supplies of food. clothing and ammunition to the Continental Army. Military actions in Danbury, Ridgefield, Saugatuck, Fairfield, New Haven, Groton and New London were significant. Roger Sherman, Israel Putnam, Jonathan Trumbull, Benedict Arnold, Noah Webster, and others played critical roles. Other notable figures (including George Washington and French General Rochambeau) visited the state frequently during the revolution - including a reported stop right here in Fairfield.
