CHOICES

C.H.O.I.C.E.S. meets one Monday a month in Natural Parenting Education Network

Each meeting will have a preplanned topic on a wide variety of things pertaining to pregnancy, health, birth, nutrition, natural living and parenting up through the early years. We will have guest speakers in often to talk about the aforementioned topics and brief movie showings when appropriate. We will always have an open discussion on the topic that we have chosen for that month as well as informal time to mingle. Food and refreshments will be provided. Everyone: mamas, dads, babies, neighbors, special friends and cousins are always welcome!

Our next group meet: Monday, May 21,  2012 @ 7pm

“Nature Deficit Disorder” June 18, 2012 @ 7pm

 (saving or children from an over-technical world)
Remember the hot summers of running bare foot in the warm green grass? The feeling of raindrops on your sun-burnt shoulders as you ran to the shelter of your favorite tree? Have you realized your children will not have those memories and that connection to nature and the world around them? Come to this meeting of CHOICES to find out the very real affects that nature-deficit has on our children and how to re-engage and keep engaged children with the natural world.
