options. Participants have many opportunities to practice new strategies,
interact with experts, and engage in lively discussions with colleagues.

challenging behavior. For more information about sessions, travel, and

CSEFEL Parent Training Online Modules
CSEFEL (Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning) has created Parent Training Modules which provide information for
families on how to promote children's social and emotional skills,
understand their problem behavior, and use positive approaches to help
children learn appropriate behavior. Additionally, the trainings are
designed to give parents general information on key strategies that may be
used with all children. The Parent Training Modules can be downloaded for
free from the CSEFEL website. These modules are also available in Spanish.
Center Partners Compile Resources for Military Families
As the United States' involvement in war abroad continues, thousands of
families and children are being impacted. In response to this need, the
