Presentation on discipline and confidence for young children

A presentation in Naas Library on Thursday will explore how to nurture self-discipline and confidence in young children, writes Brian Byrne.

It will be given by Bridie Clancy, Support Officer at the TUSLA Child and Family Agency and will begin at 7pm.

The interactive session will also focus on ways to deal effectively with difficult behaviour and how play can help alleviate challenging moments.

The event will be repeated in Kildare Town Library on Thursday 11 May.
