From around 6 years old, children start to shift into the Rule Oriented Stage of their life, a pivotal and essential part of forming how they understand the world and their place in it. Our job as parents and educators is to learn how to best support them through this stage and provide them with the best opportunities to develop a strong sense of connection with their communities. This stage can also be very challenging to the adults who are part of this process, as they need to provide consistent and reliable boundaries and rule sets.

This talk covers this next step in our developmental journey through a presentation by Jen Haynes, BIS Principal and advocate for Educating through a developmental lens.

When: May 5th @ 8pm

Cost: $20 for general public and free for BIS Community Members and Future Families.

Where: Online with Zoom

From around 11 years old, children start to shift into the Rule Conformist Stage of their life. This stage heralds a shift from looking for direct rules and boundaries to searching for principles. The Rule Conformist learner is trying to fit into the peer groups and family groups that surround them.  Our job as parents and educators is to learn how to best support them through this stage and provide them with the best opportunities to maintain a strong sense of connection with their communities and with their individuality. This stage can also be very challenging to the adults who are part of this process, as they need to model the principled life we want our children to exhibit.

This talk covers this next step in our developmental journey through a 90 minute presentation by Jen Haynes, BIS Principal and advocate for Educating through a developmental lens.

When: September 8 @ 6:30pm

Cost: $20  (BIS Inc Members are Free )

Where: Online with Zoom ( we will send out the Zoom link the day of the talk )
