Provides Parenting Education Groups, using the concepts of the Nurturing Parenting Program and the Active Parenting Program.
Parenting can be fun. It is demanding; no getting around it. But, be with a child for awhile and you can sense the innocence, vulnerability, and trust those small hands have when they grab one of our fingers and believe if they have a finger to hold on to, the world is a good place. It is this tiny belief in goodness and trust that motivates others of all ages to put forth the commitment to create a better world through nurturing.” Bavolek, 1999
