Introducing Our "Giving Back to YOU" Series This November
November is a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks. While the focus is often on family gatherings and gratitude, we want to shine a light on the people who make it all happen: you, the parents and caregivers!
Taking care of kids is the hardest, most rewarding job in the world and it can be exhausting. As the holiday season ramps up, we believe it's essential to give back to the caretakers, parents, babysitters, grandparents, teachers in our community by providing you with practical skills, new perspectives, and a much-deserved moment to focus on your growth.
That's why we are thrilled to announce our special "Giving Back to YOU" Series this November! We've lined up three fantastic and informative sessions to help you navigate everything from keeping your kids engaged to making big educational decisions.
Here's a look at the lineup and why you won't want to miss these sessions:

Tuesday, November 18th: Wisdom on Raising Strong Kids
Building Resilience through Play with Sierra Dator MSW, LCSW and Founder of Wise Girl Workshops

Resilience is one of the most critical life skills we can pass on to our children, and play is a powerful tool to build it. Join Sierra Dator MSW, LCSW and Founder of Wise Girl Workshops for a deep dive into how intentional play can help your child handle challenges, manage big emotions, and bounce back from setbacks.
This topic is a hot one, and we're excited to try running this important session a little later in the evening.

We're eager to see you there for this vital conversation on setting your children up for emotional success!
