Voices of the village

Wisdom is defined as the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight. We will utilize "Voices of the Village" to showcase wisdom from wise and wonderful parents.

"Not all mothers and fathers are parents. You become a mother or father because you birthed or adopted a child. Parenting is something you do even if you didn't bring any children into the world." - Naomi Seymour, September 2018

As we continued our conversations on parenting, we covered topics such as kids and money, kids and technology, and discipline. Everyone walked away with helpful tools to better parent their children. As you can see, we always welcome the children to our meetings and have activities for them to enjoy.
