Dealing with Disobedience 
It’s natural for you children to test limits, but they also need to
learn to follow instructions.  You can teach your child to cooperate and
do the right things. This workshop looks at the reasons why children may
not do as they are told and provides some suggestions to help prevent
disobedience and teach limits.

towards the school. If you have unwanted electronics, please drop
