We are proud to welcome Dominion Resources as a sponsor of our Parent Tipline. It will now be called the “Dominion Parent Power Line” and will still be at the same phone number- 804-545-1928. The Tipline is a resource for parents to call and reach a Professional Family Educator and receive advice to empower them to solve their parenting challenges. We are thankful to Dominion Resources for sponsoring this important community service. Give it a call and find out how it can help you!
Did you know the movie “Bully” is showing locally at the Westhampton? Those who have seen this know it is a powerful documentary about a painful topic.
On Thursday, May 17, 2012 from 7:00-8:30 pm RichmondMom.com and Commonwealth Parenting are presenting a Town Hall evening of discussion and resources for parents and educators. This event is hosted by Canterbury Community Preschool.
More than 13 million children are bullied each year. This is more than an unkind word or a rough shove. For many children, bullying goes on for months and sometimes years, and is systematic and unrelenting. Parents are often unaware of the full extent of the punishment their children are taking, and schools either do nothing or intervene in ways that are ineffectual; sometimes making things worse.
This is a free event but seating is limited to 50. Register online here. For more information, please call 804-545-1272.
Check out this video from NBC12 promoting this event.
