The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 2, at Learning Circle Preschool, located at 3 Blue Hill River Road in Canton.

During the presentation, Appelstein will explain strength-based practice, discuss the power of positive attitude and culture, and provide self-esteem building tools and activities for young children. He will also explore the importance of controlling personal emotions and introduce respectful limit setting.

Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to guiding children that is exceptionally positive and inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every child has or can develop strengths to mitigate problem behavior and enhance social and academic learning.

Appelstein is a nationally prominent child care specialist and author who trains and consults throughout the United States and abroad. He has authored three youth care books that are widely used within the field, including No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: Understanding and Responding to the Challenging Behavior of Troubled Children and Youth. His latest creation, a self-help CD for moms and dads titled Parent Rapsody – Songs and Musical Mantras for Successful Parenting, won a national Mom’s Choice award.

Appelstein’s presentations are energetic, entertaining and incredibly informative. He looks forward to sharing his ideas with the local community at Learning Circle Preschool.
