One of the biggest challenges parents face is that of keeping up! As soon as you’ve got the perfect bedtime routine everything changes. Right after you finish childproofing, your toddler learns a new climbing technique. Join us for new developmental groups- offering support, fresh ideas and connection with parents in the same boat. While each group will have a guiding topic, questions on any developmental topic are welcome.Developmental groups are designed to cater to your child’s specific cognitive age and stage. While there are no strict rules about ages for attending, and you are welcome to come to topics that catch your interest, the guidelines can help you choose the best match for you and your child. The group format is casual, with open playtime and discussion filling most of the time along with some more specific sharing of ideas and techniques for the listed topic.
Amy Makice, LCSW and Connie Nelson Laird, MSW will be facilitating these groups.
