CORE BELIEFS:
-
Positive parenting takes practice. We strive for our best, not perfection.
-
Active listening is key, whether we are talking with each other, our children or ourselves.
-
Together we are better. Human connection improves our outlook, our understanding, our resolve and our ability to achieve our best.
-
Healthy communication makes strong families.
-
Starting early builds a foundation for lifelong success.
THE MODEL:
-
Online or in-person discussions with local experts in the fields of nutrition, physical health and wellness, mental health, stress and anxiety, substance use, mindfulness, functional movement and more.
-
Online and/or in-person sessions offer hands on opportunities to practice healthy communication and build the foundations needed to see our youth become resilient young adults.
-
Masks and social distancing mandates will be followed at all in-person events.
For as much as we watch our children to see what they will do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.
- Joyce Maynard
