SUMMARY:Parenting Group - Building Resilience in Children & Teens
DESCRIPTION:Our Parenting Group will resume\, and we will start the year with a great book:\nBuilding Resilience in Children and Teens by Kenneth R. Ginsburg with Martha M. Jablow.\nOver 8 weeks\, we will explore how to raise children that can be emotionally strong\, connected\, and rooted in love\, grounded in faith\, grace\, and community.\nBuilding Resilience in Children and Teens is a practical\, strength-based guide for adults who are raising\, teaching\, mentoring\, or caring for young people. The authors remind us that resilience can be taught and strengthened—it’s not something children either have or don’t have. Centered on the Seven Cs of Resilience\, the book offers everyday tools to help children meet challenges with confidence\, connection\, and hope as they grow.  This group is a supportive space for parents and caregivers to learn together\, share honestly\, and be reminded that we don’t do this work alone. \nMeeting Dates:\nFebruary 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\nMarch 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\nTime: 6:30–7:30 PM\nLocation: Room 207\nChild Care: Provided \nYou may also join online via Zoom. To receive the Zoom link\, please email Susan Adam-Rita. All parents and caregivers are welcome.
