SUMMARY:Brainstorm: Parenting Book Group
DESCRIPTION:Registration opening soon!\n\nBrainstorm by Daniel J. Siegel\, M.D.\nBetween the ages of 12 and 24\, the brain changes in important\, and oftentimes maddening\, ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel\, however\, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult\, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. \nIn Brainstorm\, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers’ behavior and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology\, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth\, change\, and experimentation in their children’s lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide. \n\nDATES: September 30th\, October 7th & 14th\nTIME: 6:00 – 7:30 PM\nLOCATION: Erie Community Library\, 400 Powers St\, Erie\, CO 80516\nFACILITATOR: Dan Fox\, LPC\nDan has spent the past 25 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy\, happy adults. Learn more about Dan.\n\n*Once registered\, participants can pick up a copy of the book at the library to borrow at no cost. \nNote: This book group will be in English with no interpretation. \n\n\n\nAbout PEN Parenting Book Groups:\nParenting doesn’t come with a how-to manual\, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. \nPEN’s Parenting Book Groups are a welcoming space where parents and caregivers come together to discuss research-based parenting books\, share experiences\, build meaningful connections\, and learn from one another with the guidance of an experienced facilitator. \nThrough thoughtful conversations\, you’ll deepen your understanding of yourself and your child(ren)\, gain practical tools you can use in everyday life\, and discover new perspectives alongside others on the parenting journey. \nPrevious participants describe PEN Parenting Book Groups as a “welcoming\, supportive environment where every voice is heard.” Participants leave feeling more confident and better equipped to navigate the joys and challenges of parenting. \n\nBooks will be available to borrow at no cost from the hosting library.

SUMMARY:The Parent-Teen Connection - Parenting Book Group

Discover how connectedness and belonging lay the foundation for trust\, openness\, more harmonious interactions at home\, and communication that feels meaningful and lasting. \nSession 2 (October 19): Looking Inward—The Parent’s Role in Connection\nEvery parent brings their own experiences\, beliefs\, and emotional patterns into the relationship with their teen.

Explore how technology\, outside pressures\, and the pace of modern parenting affect family relationships\, and learn practical ways to protect connection\, so it remains your family’s greatest strength. \nRegister for this Parenting Book Group \nNote: This book group will be in English with no interpretation. \n\n\n\nAbout PEN Parenting Book Groups:\nParenting doesn’t come with a how-to manual\, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. \nPEN’s Parenting Book Groups are a welcoming space where parents and caregivers come together to discuss research-based parenting books\, share experiences\, build meaningful connections\, and learn from one another with the guidance of an experienced facilitator. \nThrough thoughtful conversations\, you’ll deepen your understanding of yourself and your child(ren)\, gain practical tools you can use in everyday life\, and discover new perspectives alongside others on the parenting journey. \nPrevious participants describe PEN Parenting Book Groups as a “welcoming\, supportive environment where every voice is heard.” Participants leave feeling more confident and better equipped to navigate the joys and challenges of parenting. \n\nBooks will be available to borrow at no cost from the hosting library.

SUMMARY:Motus Theater Presents: What Love Requires
DESCRIPTION:Motus Theater & Parent Engagement Network present What Love Requires\, a new autobiographical monologue project featuring stories of parents of transgender and nonbinary adults. \n\n\n\nIn many ways\, the job of parents is to support our children to blossom into the unique gift they were meant to bring to the world. However\, every parent’s idea of who our children are can be limited by family or societal expectations (You’re supposed to be a doctor like your parents\, not a musician!)   \nFor parents of transgender and nonbinary children\, supporting our children has particularly high stakes because of the threats our children currently face simply by living their own true gender\, and experiencing the joy we all have when we can truly be ourselves. \nThe performance shares stories of parents supporting their children to not only survive\, but thrive. The performance also celebrates the ways parents are liberated from limiting perceptions about gender in the process of truly seeing and learning from their children. \nSecure your tickets today!\n  \n\n					Monologists include Beth Leyba (she/her)\, Lynn Kutner (she/her)\, Cat Lindsey (she/her)\, and Julie (she/her). Featuring music from acclaimed violinist Anthony Salvo (he/him).
