FREE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS

THE SAMMAMISH PLATEAU PARENT NETWORKING GROUP

 

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding and yet challenging jobs we can do, and no matter how prepared we may think we are, there are always unexpected trials and unforeseen obstacles that can blindside us. Our kids are growing up in a world that is very different than the one in which we were raised and it is full of temptations and pitfalls that can have some scary consequences. As parents, we need to learn to network with each other as well as our kids do with their peers so that we can inform, educate and support each other, and equip our teens and pre-teens to face the uncharted territory they will be navigating. If you are interested in joining our Parent Networking Group, you can join us at our next meeting, facilitated by parent of 5 Sammamish-raised kids and co-founder of the Parent Networking Group,
