Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
This previous weekend I met up with a friend for dinner. We have been friends for a long time and though we drifted apart from each other at times we always re-connected. He and I became friends because we had so much in common and we stayed in touch because our life experiences often seemed to intersect. He and I are both parents of similar aged kids and we will occasionally get to together and talk about our many great, and sometimes not so great, adventures as parents. As we were talking this weekend I thought about how important those times are. How helpful it has been to me as a parent. The old adage, ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ is so very true.<\/p>\n
This week I wanted to let you know about a resource I came across this weekend that might be helpful for some. Parenting support circles are really great, safe spaces to connect with other parents, share best practices, offer\/receive tips from experts as well as other parents, and even make some friendships.<\/p>\n
The Parent Support Circles Society of British Columbia<\/a> offers a number of FREE online (ZOOM) parenting support circles across our community and province. General information about support circles can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
