2009 Parenting Seminars at The Children's Hospital
Free Parenting Seminars Are Back!
Parenting. There’s a lot to it. No one knows your kids like you do. But sometimes you need a quick tip, a new idea, maybe a little support to get past the fussing and on to the laughing, growing, learning and living. That’s where the experts at The Children’s Hospital can help.
The Children’s Hospital is committed to provide a full range of pediatric services, often including services not available anywhere else. Our parenting seminars are one way we are able to share our pediatric expertise with you and your family.
Admission is FREE, but space is limited! Please reserve your spot online today! Seminars are for adults only, please.
