Join us for the second of a three-part parenting series!
If you are in the midst of parenting a child under two years old, this interactive presentation is for you. Spend an evening with two seasoned early childhood educators, Emily Boucher and Amy Mockbee, who have parented and worked with young children themselves. Let’s get real about the joys and challenges of early childhood; learn how you can build the parent-child connection, foster learning, and make these years breezy, not stormy. Meet fellow parents, and give time and space to be perfectly imperfect parents.&nbsp;
For our winter session, we will tackle the day-to-day work of parenting a thriving toddler, particularly as the colder months drag on.&nbsp;
Topics of discussion will include:
<ul><li>engaging a toddler (with or without screens) so home life can feel positive&nbsp;</li><li>creating space for growth - for parents and young children alike, through routines and approaches that make sense</li><li>considering how toddlers connect and socialize - what is expected, what is problematic, and how to face the common pitfalls</li></ul>
Our workshop offers:
<ul><li>Real-life advice, ideas &amp; strategies</li><li>Time to thoughtfully consider what's happening with your little ones, in a group of people who are in the same stage of parenthood</li><li>Enjoy resources? We’ll share helpful children’s books, accessible parenting support &amp; simple, doable strategies that work</li><li>Opportunities for your in-the-moment questions and discussion</li></ul>
Parenting is not meant to be done in isolation! So, let's do this together. Call your kindred toddler parent buddy, save the date, and make a plan to spend grown-up time together.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Additionally, host school families from Barrow Street Nursery School should email info@parentsleague.org to register. No fee applies for host school families.
To ensure a personalized experience for all attendees, space is limited to 40 adults.

At 55 Main Street, a boat cabin–inspired great room combines the craftsmanship of classic yacht interiors with the comforts of a historic riverfront home. Crafted in rich teak wood, the built-in seating recalls the joinery of fine marine design. Cushions are upholstered in high-end, durable fabrics chosen for both comfort and resilience, with ample hidden storage beneath. The room is finished with swing-arm reading sconces, opens to the water through oversized sliding glass doors overlooking the Connecticut River, and is further enhanced by radiant heat flooring and a propane fireplace. The 1850 Federal and early Greek Revival property offers wide-board pine floors, multiple fireplaces, antique fixtures, and custom millwork, alongside modern updates such as central air, a generator, and a river-view galley kitchen for the home chef. For river enthusiasts, the property includes dock access to both the Connecticut and Salmon Rivers, plus two boat rental slips at a marina just three minutes away. Outdoors, the property’s nearly one-acre setting also features a 20x40 gunite pool and landscaped patios. “Every detail has been designed with the same care and craftsmanship you’d expect aboard a fine yacht,” said listing agent Sacha Armstrong-Crockett, Luxury Real Estate Advisor with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty.
