Parenting Classes

The twin group had a great meeting about raising daughters the other night.  I thought others might be interested in some area parenting classes.  The presenters, Mindful Parenting PDX and Boys Alive, were really upbeat and interesting. 

Mindful Parenting has a 4 week series of parenting classes in June: https://www.mindfulparentingpdx.blogspot.com/  She's also going to teach a sibling class and Mindful Parenting for Girls class in July.  You just have to send her an email for more info.

Boys Alive taught a raising sons class for the twin group last year, and it was a big hit.  She says the class is also helpful to better understand husbands or other men in your life.  https://www.boysalive.com/

Also, there is a class in Portland based on the book Cinderella Ate My Daughter.  The instructor is waiting for some more emails to show interest before she schedules a class.  https://cagefreepdx.com/discussion.html

    Thanks for sharing! I might pick up one of those books to read on our vacation this summer...we are staying at a place without internet, so I *might* get a chance to read something...maybe.
