Jewish Parenting Workshops 2011-12
The Oys and Joys of Parenting
Parenting is not for the faint-hearted. How do we deal with everyday and life-changing moments of raising children?

Allan Cordova, clinical psychologist, will facilitate. Parents need to attend both sessions. Maximum number of participants: 12. Register by November 10..
