I know it's mid-July, but the minds are turning back to school. Back-to-school shopping catalogs have arrived and the Parent Network emails are flying as the organization that brings wonderful educational programs to Brookfield and Elm Grove parents finalizes its plans for the 2008-2009 school year.
I recently caught a glimpse of the kick off flyer and am excited about the learning opportunities coming our way. The Sept. 30th kick-off event brings Brookfield parents' favorite Dr. Brian Fidlin back to talk about "Wellness: Parenting the Mind, Body and Spirit." Dr. Fidlin is an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Anyone who has heard him will tell you that he shares a wealth of information parents benefit from hearing.
Topics for the rest of the school year: character development, study skills, talking to kids about sex and body image & sex.
Thanks Parent Network for the work you do throughout the summer to bring us a school year of learning for parents!
