Detroit Waldorf School hosts their third parent education evening covering the topic of building attention, organization and focus for young children.

Children need an environment that will support a development of inner resources that will last a lifetime. This evening talk will highlight a few activities for adults to support their attention and will power and we will learn the stages by which children develop capacities for attention, organization and task completion. This workshop is for parents, teachers and those interested in problems of focus.

She teaches part time at the Detroit Waldorf School, serves as president of the Association for a Healing Education, directs their Educational Support Program and teaches and consults in a number of remedial programs.
