Nonviolent Parenting is here!

Hi Friends,

I am so excited to announce that we (Julia Bongard and myself) have set a time and place for Nonviolent Parenting education series. This is a 10-week series of classes about connecting with our children in an unconditional way, while guiding emotional intelligence, setting limits, learning about child development and brain development. 

We will be at First Congregational Church (3rd & Cedar) starting Wed, Sept. 3 at 6:30PM. 

If you have questions, please feel free to respond here, or to my email address tovanonviolentparenting@yahoo.com or call me at 562-422-8623.

Hope to see you there.

Mom's Night July

Ok, planning another escape from the kids, I mean Mom's Night Out! Lets do it Wednesday, July 30th 6:30PM at East Side Mario's Italian restaurant - 4771 Candlewood St, Lakewood. 

Hope to see you there.

Update on Class with Shaila

Ok mommies (and daddies too)... Shaila loves the idea of guiding us in a parenting class. However, in her wisdom, she has suggested that it wait until Spring. That way we can all get a bit more settled with so many of us starting new preschools, kindergarten and in general just adjusting to the new changes at LBCC. We will most likely meet twice per month during eight week sessions. I'll keep you all filled in as we progess.

In the meantime, I am still in need of our support forum - so here's my suggestion:

We determine one or two evenings per month (I would like Tuesdays from like 7pm-9pm?), we meet at someone's house (I am happy to offer mine although its tiny - I think we can fit perhaps 8 of us?) or maybe a church (it might be wise for someone other than me to pursue this option, although the First Congregational Church of Long Beach might be an option -they seem very nice and have a public meeting space I think... )

We can create a list of topics (ie: discipline, sleep, siblings, etc...) and just talk about parenting for a couple of hours a month... We can do this until Shaila is ready in the Spring - and best of all, it will be free!

Any takers?
