Parent Ed. Talk. Whose Homework is it Anyway? @ This Side Up! Family Center
Oct 2 @ 12:00 am – 1:30 am

Expert Parent Educator, Cynthia Garrison will provide insight, ideas and tools that will take your family from surviving to THRIVING this school year!

Description: Whose Homework Is It Anyway?
The struggle of homework has been around for generations. We ask the question and we get a non-committal answer and we get frustrated. Sometimes we end up bribing, threatening, and screaming just to get them to do the work. We may even help too much or do the work for the child. Join us as we identify parental role in homework environment, understanding learning styles and fostering a sense of child responsibility.
End the Homework Battles!

This Month’s Topic: Get Organized!  Ever feel like you’re slowly sinking in a quicksand pool made of toys, clothes, dishes, papers, pets, kids’ schoolwork, etc., etc.? Ever feel like it’ll never get better and you’ll never get it organized? Or if you do get it organized, ever wonder how it could possibly get so bad again so quickly? If you answered yes to any of these questions, congratulations – you’re one of millions of struggling parents going through the exact same thing!!

Single parent Abby Golman is also in this elite group of struggling parents, and through trial and error she has come up with some quick, easy, and surprisingly long-lasting solutions to the chaos. Go from cluttered chaos to peacefully productive.

Childcare is only $5.00 per family (pre-registration is needed to ensure space).

As a parent, it may be tempting to deny the realities of drug danger and say “Not my child!” But, there is no denying children are strongly influenced by their environment, and drugs and alcohol are definitely a part of the environment in which our children are growing. Join us as we discuss ways to talk with your child about the immediate and permanent dangers of drug and alcohol use.

NOVEMBER MEETING will be OFF-SITE AT INFINITE BOUNDS GYMNASTICS CENTER   (Upstairs Meeting Room)

This Month’s Topic: Keeping Our Kids Safe!

The best way to protect children from abuse is having positive, open communication with them on an ongoing basis starting when they are young. Children normally don’t speak up if they are being abused but are more likely to if they have a trusted adult who has proactive communication with them already. Ellen White, from the YMCA, will speak to us about protecting our children.

Childcare is only $5.00 per family (pre-registration is needed to ensure space).
