Support Groups


Support Groups 

At WiseParent we believe that it takes a village to raise…a family. We don't always live near our friends and family, and even when we do, they're often busy with their own families. It's important to be around other parents. It gives you perspective on how normal your feelings are, and how normal those quirky baby/child habits are. You'd be surprised how often Moms will talk about 'poop'. Please come and join other Moms in these fun and supportive groups. You'll be glad you did!


Parenting:
  • Sleep Support: Many Moms struggle with getting babies to sleep or to instill those healthy sleep habits. In comes Marcia, the Sleep Expert extraordinaire. She works with Moms (often of twins and triplets too) to help babies learn healthy sleep habits. Join her in this support group of Moms who are all looking for great solutions to their sleeping worries. Held on the third Tuesday of every month from 2:00pm to 3:30pm. Contact Marcia at mhorbacio@hotmail.com
