Parents a Hand program
Raising healthy children physically and emotionally is a difficult job, and specialists from Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital’s Center for Pediatric Behavioral Health have developed a unique monthly series to help parents address many of the most common issues. * Please note that there is NO charge for these sessions.*
Future discussions, all during the noon hour, will center on developing a parenting philosophy, managing mealtime and nutrition, setting boundaries for safe and appropriate computer screen time, and many other important topics. Whether you’re raising a young child or a teenager, learn more about how to be the best parent to your son or daughter. To reserve your spot for one or more of these discussions, or for more information, contact Kristina Raleigh or Nicole Pucci at 216.445.7574.
The rest of the sessions will be held in NA3-57/Library.
