Clearwater Table at Tilth Harvest Fair

Saturday September 9, 2006, 10am - 4pm

Every year The Clearwater School has an information table at Seattle Tilth's Harvest Fair. Drop by to ask questions and pick up information about Clearwater. The Harvest Fair is also a great place to buy wonderful produce, buy plants, eat great food, hear good music and get lots of information about sustainable, organic gardening.

Trust Based Parenting Class

Four sessions on Thursdays, October 4, 11, 18 & 25, 2007, 6:30 - 8:30pm, $60.

When families strive to understand and value each others’ perspectives, parents and children are able to make decisions and resolve family conflicts without coercion, punishment or threats. Parents learn to compassionately engage with their children, extending empathy rather than exerting power and authority. When children experience trust, they learn to trust themselves.

Trust-Based Parenting is taught by Stephanie Sarantos, Ph.D., a staff member and cofounder of The Clearwater School. Stephanie draws from years of experience as a Clearwater staff-member, nurse, educational psychologist and mother of three boys.

Advance registration required, child care and sliding scale available.
