Growing our children and ourselves
FREE EVENT Open to all Splatsin families, community members and professionals who support Splatsin children and families. Splatsin Community Centre 5767 Old Vernon Road Please register in advance with Sheila William 250-838-6496 ext. 253 *Please choose either May 31 or June 1 to attend. ____ Meals provided ──── Gift Cards & Door Prizes May 31 5-8 pm and June 1 11-2 pm What does it mean to be a parent? Growing your children and yourselves for a happy, healthy life. Parenting can be hard, and our children do not come to us with manuals. What can be most surprising as a parent is how we often become the kind of parent we didn’t want to be at all! To understand why, we have to look at our own stories and how they have traveled with us through time to become part of how we are growing up our children. Once we do that, it will have the effect of growing us up so that we can then be very available to the growing up of our children. This presentation will explore how our own histories become part of a present-day parenting journey, the needs that our children (and us as parents!) have, how to best meet those needs, and what this might look like in everyday life. Any “big people” are welcome to attend including professionals and especially parents.
