Parents Talk

Parenting is challenging. Many of us feel stuck, unsure, or frustrated.
Parents Talk is a six-week peer support series hosted by The Children’s Museum to foster a time where parents can share experiences, consider strategies, and feel heard. Every week, we will host one or more guest experts: child psychologists, educators, and social advocates for healthy child development. As parents discuss challenges and possible solutions, experts will help unpack challenging questions and issues with the group, encourage helpful solutions, and offer further insights.
Our invited experts include, but are not limited to:

• Gina Pasquale, Maps Counseling
• Sondra Nelson, Gathering Waters early childhood educator
• Mia Elliot, Rise for Baby and Family -Mia Elliot is a family and child therapist out of Rise for Baby and Family.

Sign-up in advance for each parent participant
Access to all event: meaning pay what you can.
Free childcare provided by Museum Staff
Food During Event: Plan to eat before the event, especially if you plan to have childcare. All food is restricted to the event room, where the peer support group will meet or outside the museum.
Group Size: We are trying to keep this event to a meaningful size. If we have fewer than seven participants signed up for one of the weeks, we will cancel that particular week. However, we plan to cap the size at fifteen participants, as too large a group might inhibit building bonds and connections with other parents and community members.

This talk will feature Sondra Nelson, Gathering Waters early childhood educator.
