You’re invited to a monthly pot luck dinner. The purpose of these dinners are to encourage parents to interact and pick up positive parenting ideas to help love and nurture children. The group has moderators to take questions and get practical answers. Children are not born with instruction so the group provides the support and place to ask questions. Pot luck dinners are held every second Tuesday of the month, same place, same time.
By making time to attend this worthwhile event, you’ll save time avoiding and overcoming future problems. Highly recommended for parents with children under seven years of age, children and anyone interested in parenting are welcomed to attend.

The U.S. National Parks service has come up with an excellent learning tool for parents and children called WebRangers. It’s a great way to teach children to read, think green, and learn about nature; other categories include history, animals, parks, puzzles, science, and people. It was fun doing the games and learning at the same time.
Free Web Ranger Membership Card
Children get a free membership card, WebRanger Station office, and rewards points as they learn and have fun.
Starts at Home is pleased to be a member of Webranger.
