Parenting in today’s world comes with a unique set of challenges. How do we raise children who are not just successful, but also kind, resilient, and compassionate? In other words, how do we raise menschs?
Join us for our new every-other-month series designed to provide parents with practical tools, expert insights, and a supportive community. Presented in partnership with Jewish Family Services (JFS) and the Jewish Community Day School (JCDS), this series brings together leading local experts to address the topics that matter most to your family.
Each session, we’ll tackle a new subject relevant to children of all ages, from early childhood through the pre-teen years. Whether you’re navigating big feelings with a toddler or tough conversations with a tween, you’ll leave with valuable strategies and the comforting knowledge that you are not alone.
