    “It’s the Brain, Not the Books: Rethinking the Reasons Kids Struggle to Read”

    You’ve tried everything—more practice, different books, tutoring—but your child still struggles with reading. Maybe they guess at words, read painfully slow, or melt down when it’s time to pick up a book… It’s frustrating for them, exhausting for you, and discouraging for teachers.


    The truth is, when reading doesn’t “click,” the problem often isn’t the books—it’s the brain. When you understand the brain processes required for reading, you can target the real cause of the struggle and unlock your child’s potential.


    Join us for a free webinar, “It’s the Brain, Not the Books: Rethinking the Reasons Kids Struggle to Read” presented by cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Moore and audiologist Dr. Jody Jedlicka. This webinar is back by popular demand so don’t miss a breakdown of the brain-based reasons why reading can be so hard—and, more importantly, what can be done to change it.

    Confident Little Explorers: Building Security and Independence in the Early Years

    Join Michelle McVittie for this interactive talk about building confident children.

    Michelle McVittie is a Child Life Specialist, Parenting Coach, CHCH Morning Live Parenting Expert and Author. Michelle’s first book, “I Quit! Oh, wait, I’m the Mom”, is a self-help book with practical tips to help moms find their joy again in motherhood. Michelle has over two decades of experience in pediatric medical and mental health, with young offenders, and in daycares as a behaviour specialist. She specializes in ADHD, anxiety, strong-willed children, parenting teens, communication, collaborative problem solving, and emotion coaching.

    From ages one to three, children are busy testing their limits, exploring the world, and learning who they can count on.
    This stage isn’t just about first steps and first words — it’s about building the foundation of confidence and curiosity that lasts a lifetime.

    In this talk, Michelle McVittie, Parenting Coach and Child Life Specialist, will share how attachment theory comes to life in everyday parenting.

    You’ll learn why being a secure base matters, how to encourage exploration while offering reassurance, and how involving other caregivers and family members strengthens your child’s trust and relationships.

    Walk away with practical strategies to nurture resilience, confidence, and healthy connections in your little one.

    We look forward to seeing you,

    Nutrition as They Grow

    Join Dr. Carly King, ND, Nutrition Professor at McMaster Health Sciences, for a supportive and informative session designed for new parents.

    Meet the Speaker: Dr. Carly King, Naturopathic Doctor

    Dr. Carly King obtained her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and also holds an Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from McMaster University. She completed her internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic and the Sherbourne HIV Health Centre, while also volunteering her time with Natural Doctors International at a clinic in Nicaragua.

    Dr. Carly is a mom to two wonderful kids and has always been oriented to health and wellness. She loves movement of any kind, but especially running and yoga.

    As a strong believer in continuing education, Dr. Carly is always learning. In addition to being a Naturopathic Doctor, she is also a trained birth doula.

    Dr. Carly helps women achieve their full potential by optimizing wellness. I work with women from preconception through postpartum and beyond to support them in growing healthy families. It’s my goal to develop long-term relationships with the families I help to properly guide them in navigating their wellness journey.

    Together, we’ll explore how your baby’s nutritional needs change as they grow, with practical tips, expert guidance, and time for your questions.

    Perfect for parents navigating feeding milestones and building healthy habits from the start!
