Did you know that with following a recipe you model literacy, counting, measuring, and it’s a great time to bond together!
Have a picky eater? Did you know that allowing kids to help in meal preparation encourages eating different foods? It’s a great way to explore some new foods together and get more comfortable touching, smelling, and maybe even tasting new foods!

Circle of Security Parenting Program
2026-04-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Virtual Event
At times, all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Caregivers together:

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs

• Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions

• Enhance the development of your child’s self esteem

• Honor your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure
