Happy families don't just happen ... they begin with Empowered Parents. As a parent myself I know how rewarding having kids can be and also how challenging and frustrating it can get.

I started this group because I desire to share some simple tools with parents that have created "A Different Normal" in my family and have made parenting fun and enjoyable. What if you …

Dear young parents & would be parents, The world today knows that 80% of the brain development happens during the first 8 years of your child. Also the right brain development is complete by the time your child becomes 4 years. This means that your child’s emotional development, intuition and creativity is locked after he is 4. The happiness quotient is based on these aspects of your child. Parents are the first Gurus of the child. Only through aware parenting we can develop our child to be a …

Being a single parent can be like living in a different world, but you don't have to go it alone. We will have events like coffee night, comedy club, hiking, and some events will involve kids.

I have been a relative caregiver to my 15 year old niece for almost two years. Her adoption should be final by March 2012 :)When talking to the caregiver of her two younger siblings, we discussed how there is so much support and help for the parents of these kids, and the kids themselves by way of therapy, parenting classes, and other services offered by CPS and DPSS, but there is nothing in place for the caregivers and foster families. By starting this group, I hope to be able to unite our own …

Parents must stay to supervise but staff will provide fun, developmenta …

As a Fullerton native, and momma to twin boys; I've found the pickings slim for getting in touch with like minded parents. This is for parents and guardians who would like to do one better than meeting up at the playground. Events will include activities such as planting gardens, visiting farms, arts and crafts, yoga, animal sanctuaries, baking, and of course lots of park and playground time. I'd really like for this to be a guild of sorts. One in which us parents can inspire eachother and mos …
