Discover the Hidden Uses of Your Cellphone
Ever wonder if your phone has any hidden abilities that
might be useful? Sure, we use our phones to stay connected and to play games,
but they’re also extremely powerful computers with immense sensing capabilities
thanks to the very small, very cheap sensor technology at our disposal today.
Much like the fabled tricorder from Star Trek, our phones are capable of some
astounding sensing, computing, and recording tasks, like returning the solution
to a calculus equation, or navigating a telephone call tree until a human gets
on the line. Or how about real time language translation? That's straight out
of Trek too, they called it the universal translator. From analyzing the
ambient audio frequency spectrum to real time earthquake alerts and more, the
phones in our pockets are much more powerful than most people realize. Join the
discussion to discover what hidden powers lurk inside your smart phone.
We’ll be
meeting on February 28 at 11am at Milford Public Library, 57 New Haven Ave. in
Milford. All are welcome.

Conscious Discipline: Going beyond "Use Your Words"
Kids Count of Milford invites you to attend a two day workshop. Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Beth Anspach will be presenting. The cost is $40 for the two sessions, March 4th and April 1st. Reliance on praise, punishment and vague phrases like "use your words", "walking fee" leaves teachers and parents alike feeling unsuccessful in truly helping the children in their care become disciplined. Parents and teachers are doing the best we know how, but it often feels as if we are crossing our fingers and simply hoping the children in our care develop healthy self-control, self-discipline and self-esteem. Participants will learn how to understand our beliefs about power impact our discipline methods, learn what research says about the effects of praise on children of all ages, realize what adult's word choices communicate to children about what they value and how the world works, learn to be firm and fair without fear or guilt, discover a few helpful, easy to impllement, skills that will allow children to become more self-aware, gain confidence and be motivated to cooperate and practice a step-by-step process to setting limits, offering choices and responding to the child who is in an uncooperative state. To reserve
a spot, email pkelly@milforded.org. Continental Breakfast and Box Lunch included. Mail a check payable to Kids Count of Milford for each person attending and mail to Margaret E. Kelly, Kids Count of Milford, 167 Cherry Street, PMB 169, Milford, CT 06460... More >><< Less
