Parenting Support Group – Thursday, April 25th at 6:45pm in the Library

We’d like to invite you to the second meeting of our parenting support group, hosted by former Lawton parent and certified coach Kate Kiely. The meeting will take place in the library on Thursday, April 25th from 6:45-7:45pm.

The group discussion will be based on the first chapter of the book “The Whole Brain Child” by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. Since we all have busy lives, reading the chapter is not a must, and Kate will give a summary at the beginning of the meeting. If you’d like to purchase the book but need financial assistance, please contact presidents@lawtonelementary.org.

From facilitator Kate Kiely: Join us for a monthly parenting support group where you can share your experiences, learn new strategies, and get and give support in a safe space. When we raise kids in the context of community and connection, we learn to be more compassionate to ourselves, supportive of one another, and more present for the kids in our lives. We’ll exchange resources and read and discuss a parenting book together. It’s also a great way to make and strengthen connections within the Lawton community.
