The Dandelion Girl Presented by The Milkweed Puppet Theater. The Dandelion Girl is a charming fairy tale, written and performed by The Milkweed Puppet Theater. Told with hand puppets in an old-fashioned puppet theater, this lively and interactive tale is about discovering simple treasures. A kindly woodchuck couple who long for a child rejoice when their wish brings a teeny tiny girl named Dandelion. Dandelion is a delight, but when she spills a pitcher of milk, the frightened child runs off into the forest. There she meets a snowshoe hare, a bear picking blackberries, and a dragon who is fiercely guarding his shining jewels. Is Dandelion quick enough to snatch a jewel, or does she have something to trade ? What is it that a dragon living deep in a dark cave has never known? |

FPL Art Exhibit Fundraiser Our current show features local artist Janice Norton. Janice has generously donated this lovely piece for our fundraiser. Raffle tickets will be available at all times during library hours, at the front desk. From Janice Norton: Art has been a passion of mine for many years, but in 2003, I picked it up again after 34 years of being away from it. I started doing portraits of adults, children and animals, then went on doing work based on my surroundings here in Fayette Maine. |

"Beyond Consequences, Logic & Control, Parenting Children with difficult behaviors."
You may already know that imposing consequences and controls can backfire with your child. But, you wonder what other options you have...and how to recover the pure love that inspired you to be a parent.
Here is your answer!
Although you cannot control an oppositional & defiant child, the good news is you can influence that child. As you learn to respond to the underlying needs of your misbehaving child you will begin to build a trusting relationship. You will learn how to ignore the behavior and connect with the child. Traditional parenting techniques do not recognize the fear, stress and shame that fuel negative behaviors. With your new insight you will be able to respond with compassion and love instead of fear and anger and your child will begin to respond with more positive behavior.
This is a two hour talk with a power point. It is an introduction to the concepts and science that supports a love-based approach to parenting children with difficult and challenging behaviors.
