Workshop by Emanuela Quagliata, Psy.D. – Child, Adolescent and Family Psychotherapist on Friday January 25th 5P-630P.Â
Being a parent or carer can be stressful, especially when the child you’re responsible for has emotional or behavioural difficulties. Parents can feel ‘stuck’ when they want to help their child but don’t know how to, or feel that whatever they try doesn’t help or even makes things worse. This workshop provides parents and carers with some understanding and guidance about child development. Topics covered will include: the development of verbal language, play and self-esteem; sudden regression, signs of isolation or autistic withdrawal; relationship problems inside and outside the family,
peers and siblings, adolescent development and the long-term effects of early experience.
RSVP to info@101bambino.com

How transitions affect the immediate and long term lives of children and adolescents , the importance of understanding the joys and challenges and grief that are a part of moving as well as the need to develop a sense of belonging. Through the understanding of terms such as Third Culture Kids and Cross Culture, we will further understand the cultural iceberg, identity and the importance of the establishment of core relationships with family and friends.

Special Kids of Rome, or SKOR, is a community offering support and resources for children with special needs and learning differences is holding a meeting Sunday, January 26th from 4P-6P. For information on the location please contact specialkidsofrome@gmail.com.
SKOR, is a self-help group that aims to support the families of children with special educational needs and learning differences.
All roads lead to Rome, and the city is home to many international families but it can be hard to track down what kind of support is available, especially if you’ve just arrived. Maybe your child is struggling at school, perhaps you’re wondering if you need a professional assessment. Or you could be coming to terms with a new diagnosis.
SKOR is a group of parents who get together for a cup of tea or a glass of wine, to share our experiences of living in Rome and to lend a sympathetic ear. We help put parents in touch with English-speaking teachers, tutors, health professionals and, most of all, with other families, because we believe that we can share with — and learn from — each other.
