The Parenting Groups Were So Popular That We Had Six Different Groups Start In Two Years

“Raising Our Sons and Raising Our Daughters parenting groups were so popular in our middle school that we had six different groups start in two years. The best outcome is the connection that parents experience by being part of the groups—something that I, as a counselor, cannot give—it comes from being part of a community. Raising Our Sons and Raising Our Daughters promotes that over and over.”

This Collection Of Excellent Writings… Is A Powerful Springboard For Discussions (Between Parents)

“As a school counselor, I focus on creating a culture of respect and caring and find that Raising Our Sons and Raising Oour Daughters parent discussion groups are a very useful vehicle. This collection of excellent writings, organized around the developmental trajectory of childhood, is a powerful springboard for discussions. We rotated the leadership of the meetings, which led to every member feeling valued. The resulting relationships formed a great foundation for these parents to draw on for years to come.”
