This is a Self Care and Support Group like no other! There will be no experts to speak (because, as our children may remind us, we parents know nothing anyway), no powerpoint presentations to take notes from and no sales. What will there be, then? COLORING! There are some studies out recently that indicate how meditative, calming and centering coloring can be. And if there's one thing I've discovered as a parent--I need more meditation, calmness and centering in my life.
So, whether your darling is the Straigh A Honor Roll student or barely gonna pass school; whether they're electronic gaming device officianados or the head cheerleader (or both!), THIS is a place just for YOU--to replenish your coffers, to build a network of other parents who get it, to help you survive the vicarious trauma that comes with raising children and definitely to CELEBRATE one another's achievements and our beloved's achievements!! Each session we will focus on a different fun activity which may include finger painting, cookie decorating, zumba (ugh), who knows...if you've got ideas, bring em. And for this session, if you've got colored pencils, bring those too!
We will provide some coloring books and coloring sheets along with a selection of colored pencils and crayons. There is no admission fee, although there will be a jar if you'd like to make a contribution to help cover expenses. Anything above the costs of expenses will be used to purchase gift certificates for the foster parents of St. Joseph's Children's Home.
Please feel free to invite your parent friends and find childcare for your beloveds. Also please be aware that some of the coloring books/pages may contain curse words. It's gettin' real y'all and we're a real-parent group! Any questions just let us know. We will update as there are updates to be made.
