Oh, The Places You Will Go!
Hands-Free Parenting
Childhood is full of wonder, but with the distractions of
daily life we often lose sight of what matters most. We’ll
discuss how to find the balance between connecting to
social media and giving our children our best!
Whether heading to Shapesville, Numbersland or
Colortown, each week will be a new adventure.
Parents have input into discussion topics.
