Parenting in Pdx



parenting in pdx: a group powered by parents for parents

Membership is open to any Child's Way parent.  This group is intended for parents just like you!

Parents will meet to discuss and problem-solve everyday dilemmas involving their kids. The dilemmas to be discussed will be brought by the group members themselves.
Topics of discussion could be (but not limited to):
    o   Sleep
    o   Diet
    o   Potty-training
    o   Child relationships
    o   School experiences
    o   Screen time for kids
    o   Short articles/texts of interest
The power of these groups will be the diversity of topics discussed because they are what the members want. The above are only possible examples.

The group will be facilitated by Jessica Baker using modified protocols (from the 'CFG' system). Jessica has extensive experience running similar groups with high school staff. Jessica is excited to adapt this structure for parents and elicit productive conversations from them.

TIME COMMITMENT: Each group will meet once a month for about 2 hours from September through May. Members of each group should be consistent from meeting-to-meeting.

Jessica will be able to run groups on Tuesday and/or Thursday mornings during the pre-3's class. The possibility of evening groups is still to be determined.

COST: For fall, membership will be FREE.  
Jessica will be looking into a membership fee starting in January to cover supplies and logistics for the remainder of the year.

CONTACT: Jessica Baker, bakerville@comcast.net to sign-up

We're all in this together.
