The next Parent Talk! is Thursday, April 10 and will be focused on Development and Growth.
There is so much information around us about what our children should be doing physically, emotionally, academically, and socially. What is real? What should we really expect as parents? When should we possibly be concerned? We will dig into development and growth at different ages and stages to understand our children better. Also, we will discuss the resources and assistance that is available when there are concerns as well as how we can best support as parents.
