Move-A-Thon Update!
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Treasure Hunt!
It was a beautiful day for a trek through the woods - we logged some
miles, searched and found hidden treasure and had a blast with our friends! A
HUGE thank you to parent volunteer, Olina Dolly who championed the event and
made it fun for all!
Only 8 days left to finish up your 26 miles and get some
sponsors - the Move-A-Thon officially ends on Friday, October 12th. If every
family gets 5 sponsors we can meet our goal of $5,000! Thank
you for your support!
A big thanks to
the Treppa family, for hosting Move-a-thon bike ride on the Chicago North
Branch Trail to the Chicago
Botanic Garden
Parent Development Event - Modern
Parenting : Tips, Tricks, and Traps
When: Thursday, October 25, 2012, 7:00pm
Where: JRC, 303 Dodge Ave , Evanston ,
IL
Cost: Free!
We have been graciously invited by our
friends at Chiaravalle Montessori and Rogers Park Montessori, who are
co-sponsoring the event.
Join Dr. Steven Hughes for a discussion on ways to best
raise happy, successful children. What are the consequences of current trends
in parenting behavior? We all want our children to be happy, successful, and to
possess good self-esteem. What are the
best ways to achieve these goals? Are parents erring on the side of being too
strict or too permissive? What do we know about what works? With the experience
born of 15 years of clinical practice, Dr. Hughes reviews some of the
surprising (and relieving) results of research examining modern parenting
practices. He closes with a set of practical recommendation on how to “stay out
of his clinic” by following sensible, research-proven strategies to raise
happy, helpful children with authentic self-esteem.
Dr. Hughes, PhD, ABPdn, is Director of The Center of
Research on Development Education and current president of the American Academy
