Fostering Your Child's Independence In The Age Of The Pandemic

In this webinar, presented on July 24, 2020, sponsored by the Learning Disabilites Association of Montgomery County (LDAMC), Judy Bass discusses some practical ways to help your child develop essential life skills. Whether your children are in elementary, middle, or high school, there are skills to be learned that will benefit them (and you) at every stage of their development. In fact, the earlier they start, the greater the benefit will be over the long term. When children are taught self-reliance, they tend to develop stronger self-esteem and self-confidence.
