Parenting Book Club, hosted by SEL Committee
Wednesday, December 4, 6:30-8:00PM, FREE
This book club will serve as a safe, supportive discussion space for parents to learn new parenting philosophies and tools, and to share their parenting challenges and successes within the context of a chosen book. Participants will share a common desire to learn and possibly practice new ways to improve their relationships with their children. The books chosen will be aligned with the mission of the PS 154 SEL Committee: to support the social and emotional learning of our children and of those who teach and care for them.
Book: “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk,” Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish. Join us as we discuss one of the most helpful parenting books of all time.
