"Parenting with Purpose" is designed to provide support, knowledge and connection for parents with students in grades 3-8. Even prior to COVID, this stage of childhood can prompt questions and challenges for parents and this pandemic year has not only exacerbated natural challenges but also introduced new ones. In this class, we’ll balance discussing child development as well as situational stress prompted by the pandemic. The class will start with several topics chosen by the Parent Educator which are relevant to this period of childhood, such as Relationships, Motivation and Media, and will ask parents to suggest additional topics that are most relevant right now.  The class will be a combination of presentation as well as discussion and the hope is that parents will finish this class equipped with new appreciation for their children, new strategies for effective communication and several new connections within the community. Parenting at any age isn’t meant to be done alone and if you’re a parent looking to get connected to others in a similar stage, this is the group for you.
