When your child is a toddler or a preschooler, they start to explore their independence and test boundaries – testing your patience along the way. They don’t always listen, and they want to do things on their own timeline. But teaching your child how to follow directions is an important lesson. Giving your toddler directions is more than just telling them what to do. Good directions help them learn right from wrong and what you expect from them. In this workshop, we will be discussing how to get your toddler or preschooler to follow directions effectively!

In this workshop we'll talk about assertive parenting and when to say yes and no. Many parents confuse the act of being an assertive parent with aggression. There isn’t anything wrong or aggressive about clear, direct, and honest communication when done appropriately. That's why it is important to know when you're being too agressive in saying "No" and too lenient in saying "YES".

Assertiveness is an essential skill that can significantly reduce the amount of conflict in your home. In this workshop, we will be discussing what Assertive Parenting is and when to say YES and NO.

When common-law spouses separate, they can deal with all the issues of their separation by entering into a formal separation agreement. This agreement can set out how property will be divided, who the children will live with and how much child support and spousal support will be paid.

Unless you have signed a cohabitation agreement, common-law spouses generally have fewer legal rights than married spouses upon break-up of a relationship. Under the Ontario Family Law Act, a couple is considered to be living in a common-law relationship:
