Click on the thumbnails to see photos of many new WW parents joining EW veterans to share strategies and advice about parenting and preschooler issues at this month’s Coffee With Roleen.
Notes from the meeting will soon be posted on the blog. For now, here are a few initial impressions:
“For me, the big take-away was around decision making and how to involve her more by brainstorming together, and how that can help avoid conflict.” – Annie Tlusty (Sadie – WW)
“I’m always learning, at school and at this meeting, how to rephrase my questions to Aurora and also how to be more genuinely engaging with her. It’s such an amazing difference when you ask the right question or say the thing that you can see instantly on her face you connected with her. I love that trust building and connection, but it is work! The coffee was great – I think it was Michael who said it was group therapy for parents! Thank you Roleen!!!” – Mary Leigh Cherry (Aurora – WW)
Thank you to Craig and Tara Grossmueller (Genevieve – EW) for hosting such a wonderful morning and to Kathe Mazur (Jake – EW) for her stellar note-taking.
Thank you Roleen for imparting such wisdom!!!
