Parent to Parent:
Building Connections

 

Parenting is about connections – connections with your kids, your partner, your community, and resources. Strong connections can make it all a bit easier. CTC of Greater Downingtown is here to help. We’ve been in the community for over 20 years and are here to support parents with today’s parenting challenges at every stage.

Join parents with similar-aged students and a trained facilitator as we explore each topic while considering the ages and stages of our students. We’ll discover techniques, tips, and tricks to tackle common challenges and strengthen connections. Most importantly we’ll interact with other parents who are in the same stage or who have been there and can offer advice. Bring a friend and join the conversation!
