Parenting

​Consider starting a Parent Network
If “it takes a village to raise a child,” then it makes sense for parents to check in with each other occasionally as our children face developmental watersheds. It can be as simple as a few friends meeting casually for coffee in someone’s kitchen, as structured as an open grade-level parent meeting with an expert speaker, or anything in-between.

Keep Talking!
Surveys continue to reveal that the number one reason kids make healthy decisions is that they don’t want to disappoint their parents. So it’s especially important to keep the lines of communication open between parents and children. Check out this
 very informative slide show and short video (oh so true, and quite funny) on key strategies for enhanced communication skills.
