UMB’s Academy of Lifelong Learning Launches Parenting Forum
Do you know caregivers who are worried that their newborn isn’t eating enough? Wondering if it’s unusual that their 2-year-old isn’t talking yet? Or do they need advice because your teenager is anxious about school?
These are all questions that you can now pose to a team of University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) experts who have backgrounds in pediatrics, child psychiatry and mental health, pediatric dentistry, wellness, and law, to name a few, as part of the Academy of Lifelong Learning’s Parenting Forum.
“Many of our participating experts are nationally recognized leaders in their specialties who have dedicated their careers to the health and well-being of children and families,” said Nick Kouwenhoven, MBA, ALL’s executive director.
The forum will cover all phases of development: infancy, toddler, elementary-school age, adolescence, and young adult. The experts will provide insights and answer questions to improve the physical and behavioral health and psychological and social well-being of children.
