• "I found the lessons very informative and quite helpful. Also some of the things I would have never thought about trying but now I will. I also love on-demand training and zoom training. I live in rural MN so after a long day of caring for children sitting down and watching a zoom class or on-demand is way easier than having to hurry to get far to the class on time. I am so very pleased with this way of 1. Doing classes 2. Getting the hours needed to maintain my license. Thank you 😊" : Laura K, Childcare Provider, Taming Toddlers 1

More about your presenter:

Raelene Ostberg is the Founder of and Keynote Speaker for Thriving Together. Raelene started her journey as a struggling parent of a toddler. Like so many parents and providers, she would tell her toddler “NO!” in one hundred different ways, only to see the behavior continue and maybe even intensify. Thankfully, Raelene was given the cherished opportunity to work with skilled toddler teachers in toddler classrooms at Early Childhood Family Education. Raelene has spent 15 years in toddler classrooms and obtained a Masters degree in Family Education from the University of Minnesota.  Over the years, Raelene collected numerous toddler-specific strategies to get the behaviors she needed and stop those driving her BANANAS!  The Taming Those Terrific Toddler series includes Raelene's entire collection of helpful strategies (and entertaining stories of success and failure to match).
