I believe in the power of a group of people sharing their thoughts and forming new ideas and thus strengthening each other and their circle of family and friends.

Conversation Circles hosts a variety of discussion groups. Participants explore paths to new knowledge and insight and then share their discoveries with each other in a supportive environment.

SUMMER GROUP:

Parenting the child who will start a new school this fall:

ENLARGING THE CIRCLE
A short-term parent support group

Starting at a new school can be challenging for both the parent and the child. This two- part presentation will focus on how to lessen the stress for both parent and child. The first session, “Turning Inward”, will focus on parental issues about the impending change: what are the adult’s concerns, expectations and hopes for the child as enter the new school? What kinds of self-preparation are important to consider? The second session, “Turning Outward” will focus on what might be some of the child’s concerns as well as suggestions for preparing the child to have a smooth transition.

Presented by Jamesen Goodman, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. As a former teacher and now a counselor Jamesen Goodmanbrings a unique perspective to this question.
