The Importance of Fathers
Research shows clearly that paternal involvement is very important for a child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. But fatherhood can be particularly complicated – dads often feel sidelined and unsupported.
In this Talk, we will discuss the wonderful benefits of involved fathers. We will explore what it has been like for workshop attendees to become fathers and how they can be supported and encouraged to be the best dads they can be. *
(*Moms are invited too!)

To Work or Not to Work, That is the Question
Today’s generation of action-oriented, post-feminism mothers are in a constant state of questioning and comparing. It’s hard enough being a mother, much less a working-mother, or a formerly-working-mother, or a stay-at-home mother, or... You get the point. When issues of motherhood and work collide, the dilemmas are complex, confusing, and deeply personal. In this Parenting Talk we focus on the identity issues, familial histories, financial concerns, and social pressures inherent in the work/motherhood dilemma, offering possible frameworks for resolution and joy in whatever your situation offers.
Tuesday, June 17th 7-8:30pm
$20 per person, or $30 per couple
