TODDLER GROUP (for children ages 10 months to 20 months)
Parenthood is a monumental milestone, marked by joy and unexpected challenges. Come explore and share helpful parenting skills with other mothers in our community. Topics to be discussed include negotiating family roles, establishing positive and consistent routines, incorporating Jewish ritual into your family life and finding a healthy balance as a parent. Sessions will meet for nine weeks on Mondays, October 15, 2012, through December 10, 2012 (except November 19, 2012), from 10:30 AM to noon. Fee is $625 for Temple members, $695 for nonmembers.


PARENT-CHILD GROUP
(for children ages 24 months
to 33 months)

Parents with young children are invited to participate in a series of weekly discussions intended to help them gain insight into their parenting choices, to foster independence and healthy separation, to promote understanding of their child’s unique temperament and to explore Jewish identity.

Children will participate in a stimulating structured playgroup, emphasizing social interaction. Led by experienced teachers, the activities will include enhancing music appreciation, arts and crafts, and celebrating Jewish holidays and traditions. Parents will have the opportunity to observe their children and learn from immediate unfolding situations. The group will provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents and create lasting friendships.

Sessions meet Wednesdays, October 3, 2012, through December 5, 2012 (except November 21), from 9:15 AM to 10:30 AM. Fee is $625 for Temple members, $695 for nonmembers.


PRESCHOOL PARENTS
Dr. Cooper also will lead a group for parents of preschool-aged children for eight weeks on Mondays from 9:15 AM to 10:30 AM. (Exact start date to be determined.) The program will focus on such issues as separation, social development and peer relations. Fee is $375 for Temple members, $425 for nonmembers.
