Anoka-Hennepin Community Education

Toddlers and preschoolers are known for extreme swings in mood and behavior. Using Dr. Deborah Macnamara’s book, “Rest, Play, Grow," as a guide, we will look at how young children develop–from their intense need for attachment to the importance of play and finally, discipline. Come away with a better understanding of this amazing age and all its glorious imperfections.
