Night #2 of our 2016-2017 Parenting Series at Griffin! This evening’s talk will focus on discipline. Not only what to do in the heat of the moment, but how to prevent those moments from happening. There will be time for Q & A afterwards about discipline and any other parenting topics!
Q & A and fabulous food! This small group event is open to everyone. There are 13 spots available for a two and a half hour talk. It is all Q &A about all things parenting. Sleep! Siblings!
