“Sing & Play” 4-Week Class for 1- and 2-year-olds

Get ready to sing, play and move with your little one in this high-energy music class designed to be just right for children under two years of age. This new Kindermusik curriculum focuses on your child's beginning movement, helping to build the muscles your baby needs to walk, and vocal development, helping to nurture your child’s speaking and singing voice. With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your older baby or toddler learns on her own.

Dr. Paul Rasmussen, the first recipient of the Dreikurs Visiting Scholar Fellowship from the Department of Psychology, will present "Why is Adlerian/Dreikursian Thinking Relevant Today?"

1:30-2:30 p.m.
Monday, March 26
Morris University Center, Meridian Ballroom
Q&A to follow

Rasmussen is an accomplished scholar and teacher and an expert in the study and practice of Adlerian Psychology.

Rasmussen will present key concepts of Adler-Dreikurs theory and practice, which focus on the holistic and socially-embedded nature of humans, and the belief that their emotions and motivations are goal-directed. He will consider these questions: If humans could reset and fix all the problems of life, what realities in terms of good ideas would persist? What resources would we consider the most optimal to face life realities? What constitutes a good idea in discussion of the human experience?
