Parenting Moments

presented by Healthier Urban Families at Wayne State University

October 2024

Welcome to the month of October!

October is a time of transitions for many families as a shift is made from the longer, perhaps more laid-back days of summer to fall routines. Commit to taking advantage of as much outdoor time as possible during the crisp, beautiful fall days that are ahead. Also, please see this month’s guide on how to support children when they are facing change/transitions. See you next month!

Beverly Weathington MPSI, Community Engagement Coordinator
