Parenting under Pressure
In December, Dr. deChabert will be hosting a conversation on the stress of parenting today.
As she wrote in her November message, "Parenting and raising children has gotten more complicated, stressful, expensive and lonely." Let's talk about this!
As a springboard for discussion, she will be using Parents under Pressure, the recent report from the Surgeon General's office. Download and read it at www.gordonschool.org/parenting.
Meredith will host two separate meetings, during the Coffee in the Commons time slot, Friday, December 5th and Friday, December 12th at 8:15am. No RSVP necessary and it is not a two-part conversation - come one week or the other.
