Church hosts support groups for parents
The Church of the Good Shepherd will be hosting two events geared to parents of young children in the next month.
On Thursday, November 18, Maria Santos will speak on "Normal and Appropriate," discussing normal development behavior in infants through preschoolers, age-appropriate parenting skills for this age group, and what to do about "problem" behaviors. Mrs. Santos RN, PNP, Med., was a Head Start Consultant for many years, specializing in early intervention and development.
On Thursday, December 9, a nurse practitioner from the Wareham Pediatric Associates will speak on "Signs and Symptoms," focusing on the most common illnesses and injuries in young children, how to spot problems, and what actions to take if problems are found. The class will also discuss hazards during the holidays.
Both talks are free and open to the public. Childcare will be provided. For more information, call 508-295-2840.
