The Character Effect From Beech Acres Parenting Center: A Social And Emotional Program

The Character Effect™ from Beech Acres Parenting Center,  is an evidenced-based, flexible social & emotional learning program grounded in positive psychology and the science of mindfulness.  The Problem Social & emotional skills, including self-awareness, self-management, and empathy do not come naturally to all children. These are skills that can be taught and encouraged to combat bullying and even suicide. The pandemic has only made things more complicated. A report which surveyed more than 1,400 parents and nearly 900 early childhood educators in Massachusetts found that just over 50% of parents said they have seen a negative impact on their child’s social-emotional development. Early childhood educators teaching younger children have noticed similar trends: 77% of those educators who observed changes said they’ve been negative, including more temper tantrums, sadness or crying, and difficulty separating from parents. Our Solution Leveraging the science of positive psychology and mindfulness, The Character Effect™ creates a common language for teachers, parents, and students to celebrate character strengths and learn to be present in the moment by utilizing skills such as self-management and self-awareness. Unlike other programs, The Character Effect™ starts first with the teachers – encouraging them to recognize their own strengths and teaching the self-care tools that so many teachers need right now. What Services Are Offerred? The Character Effect™ offers a variety of solutions to meet your school’s needs. These include: • Engaging online curriculum • Individual and group coaching sessions for teachers• Family Engagement Events and Workshops• Professional Development Workshops Want to learn more? Download more information here or call 5132316630 today to see how you can #HaveAnEffect in your school.

Parent Connext™

Parent Connext From Beech Acres Parenting Center: Connecting Parents To Resources And Providing One Clear Next Step

Parent Connext® from Beech Acres Parenting Center connects parents to tools and resources and provides one clear next step on their parenting journey. The Problem In our 2016 study, 58% of parents reported parenting was VERY or EXTREMELY challenging. Yet parents often don’t know where to turn for help. Often parents turn to their trusted pediatricians, who may be able to share their own personal experience but are not typically formally trained in parenting. Today’s parenting challenges are more complex than what their parents faced. Our Solution Started in 2016, but based on 170 years of offering support & services to families, the Parent Connext® team offers resources from blogs to family activities to mini-classes delivered via text. But if the self-paced content is not enough, a parenting coach can be connected with a family within 48 hours, and after just 3 sessions, parents have reported an improvement with (1) parent/ child relationship, (2) self-care, (3) self-confidence as a parent, and (4) self-satisfaction. What Services Are Offered? • Individual sessions for families with a parent coach• Parenting: A to Zoom Lunch ‘n Learns• Curated Content Want to learn more? Download more information here or call 5132316630 today to see how Parent Connext® can make a difference with your family.
