Being a single parent isn't easy...having a group of friends in a similar situation can be a godsend, especially for those who do not know many others in the area. This is not a dating group, but instead a group who understands the special challenges (and joys!) that come with being a solo parent ... and who support one another and share our experiences. By "single" parent it doesn't mean you cannot be dating someone lol ... it does mean that you may be divorced, separated or otherwise caring fo …

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

This is a group for parents in Lake County who have a child(ren) with Sensory Processing Disorder/Sensory Integration Disorder. The goal of this group is to be a support system and an information hub for each other. While the awareness of this disorder is increasing among parents, the medical field, educational system and society is not fully on board. Therefore we need to rely on each other for support, encouragement and advice. *Please note that this is a group for Sensational kids, not other …

We are eager for you to join this newly formed meet up group created just for parents who want to be "families at their best," and especially, parents of tweens and teens. Do any of these describe your experience as a parent? I see my 8-13 yr old changing right before my eyes and what used to work, doesn't anymore.  I'm frustrated and I don't like all of the second-guessing I'm doing. I'm not always sure about the way I'm h …

The Wauconda Area Play Group is a wonderful way to meet other families in the area. While most of our members are moms & their kids, dads are welcome to join too! Parents can socialize with other parents while the kids play together. We are open to moms, dads and kids of any ages.

This is a group for moms to come together to support, share and inspire each other to be their best at empowering and growing their daughters through the challenging years of the teens.

Ideally, these meetings would: • Include at least 10 children between around the ages 2-5. • Be held for 2-3 hours at a time. • Be focused on hig …

Fluency isn't required! Only your willingness to learn/spea …
