Elementary and Early Childhood parents have the opportunity to  participate in the Free 7-session STEP Parenting Program starting in  October.  The STEP (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting)  Program is designed to help parents improve upon their parenting skills,  understand children’s behavior, and build self-esteem, communication  and healthy family relationships.   You will have the chance to share  experiences with other parents dealing with similar parenting struggles and strengths in a supportive and encouraging environment.  Through the use of brief weekly readings, guided discussions and topics of interest you will walk away each week with a more positive outlook on how you parent. 
​
If you would like to join the STEP Program you must contact Amanda Quigley or
Franny Stewart by October 3rd.  There will be limited space for attendance.
​ Location of the sessions will be emailed to those who sign up for the program.

The AISB Counselors will be hosting a workshop for all AISB families who have recently moved to Bucharest.  The workshop will include information about how to support your child during a big transition, defining a third culture kid and what to expect from your child during this transition time. There will be time for parent discussions and questions during the workshop. This workshop may also be beneficial for families who arrived to Bucharest last school year and would like more information about supporting a transition. 
Two sessions will be offered for this workshop:
