Margaret Mary Christopher's Groups
Children's Social Skills Group
Children learn leadership skills, problem-solving skills, conflict resolution skills and emotional regulation and management in a group setting through discussion, enjoyable group activities, and the the group's development of a musical event that is presented to senior citizens each year. Parents of participating children also meet with me individually or as couples so that they can reinforce what the children are learning in the group at home. Although the children are in a group setting, each one receives a in-depth multidisciplinary assessment and has an individualized intervention plan.
Parenting Group
Parents meet weekly or bi-weekly to establish developmental and educational goals for their infants, toddlers, and/or pre-school aged children and to obtain help in meeting these goals. Each child is assessed before the group begins to determine what goals and methodologies are most appropriate for them. Parents of special needs children, including those who appear to be gifted and talented, are welcome, along with those parents who are parenting children whose development is consistent with the norms for each age
