Im starting this group because there are so many groups all geared toward single parents or divorced parents. There is nothing geared commited couples with kids. So I made this meetup in the hopes that my wife and I can finally meet some other couples who might also be new parents like ourselves or veteran parents who just wanna make some new friends and hang out but still be able to bring the kids. Once this group starts garnering members, I will go ahead and start creating some events. I look …

A Living Family: Your support, Your Family. When I was a child, my parents would tell me stories of their childhoods growing up in India. Living communally, in a compound with extended families, the children grew and played together while the adults shared together in the joys and tasks of daily life. Even as a child, I understood the power of community to enrich the life of the individual. I gather that it was a difficult time, making life happen with the resources available, but I also heard t …

Looking for other parents who have children who may be struggling with social skills or other issues such as adhd, aspergers, pdd, mood disorder or anything similar. I would like to get our kids together for playdates such as Lego groups, crafts, going to meet ups at museums, parks & other fun events. I think it would also be helpful for us parents to share some of our experiences/struggles & to learn from one another. This group is for children between the ages of 8-12.

We are parents who enjoy the time-honored practice of wearing our children in fabric slings and carriers.

We are parents who usually work from home full or part time, and who live in or west of Philadelphia  (Conshohocken, Main Line, Manayunk, East Falls, Mt Airy, Chestnut Hill, King of Prussia, etc). We get together for coworking sessions regularly, and are working towards opening a permanent coworking office space (to be called "Juice Box") with on-site child care and many more services... to help us all find community, socialize, learn, get stuff done… and achieve balance with our work and home l …

This is a group for Indian mothers to get together with their families, in an attempt to get to know each other and share the episodes of parenting and mostly, to break the monotony by having a good time.

This group is for all of those amazing, determined, and strong parents out there who are raising a child with Aspergers. Parents who may not know where to turn. What to do. Who to believe. Who to even "ASK". I've spent the past 9 years fighting to help my son get the services and education he needs and deserves. Fighting to give him a voice when it felt as if no one out there was listening. Fighting to ensure his needs were met and he was thriving as a child on the spectrum, and as a human being …

Get-togethers and varied activities for young adults 17-27 with Asperger's and other issues. We meet regularly and have formed many friendships. Parents are involved and support each other, but the young adults help create the activities and do things on their own. Socializing in homes, dining out, movies, dances, swim parties, gaming, hiking, trips and many other activities have been successful. The group has been in existence nearly three years and is thriving. We welcome new members and new i …

This group is for parents and caregivers who value the importance of play and the creative process, and who want to play alongside their child. Here, we can create a community that promotes bringing back play and creativity to childhood. This group will give children access to play and creative activities, and it will be a resource for parents and caregivers who want to learn more about how creative experiences benefit the developing child.

In profiling Chinese adoptees in contemporary America, Linda Goldstein Knowlton's (THE WORLD ACCORDING TO SESAME STREET) deeply moving documentary illustrates that even the most specific of experiences can be universally relatable. Of the roughly 80,000 girls who have been adopted from China since 1989—a decade after China implemented its One Child Policy—the film intimately follows four teenagers: Haley, Jenna, Ann, and Fang. These four wise-beyond-their-years, yet typical American teens, revea …

I started this group because so many of us have forgotten the pure creative spirit that enveloped us as children. Whether it was experienced at play, drawing, painting, reading, telling stories, making up songs, building things or taking things apart!, dressing up, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, writing and most of all the forgotten art of daydreaming and fantasizing. These activities get lost in the "Everydays" of life as we grow older. For some it is lost early on while others can ma …
