We're Moving Forward in 2010

We’re moving into 2010 with big plans for our Summit Series Events.  Our 2009 event was a huge success with the participation of prize-winning author and investigative reporter Peg Tyre, author of "The Trouble with Boys"; media magnet Lenore Skenazy, author of "Free Range Kids"; Teen author, Vanessa Van Petten, author of "You're Grounded!" and other nationally recognized authors.   This year, we're continuing our online book club for parents by focusing on authors and experts that deal with issues related to our families.  Last year's eight-week summit was a huge success because we were able to include a broad range of topics--from step-parenting, to connecting with teenagers, to the importance of free play for our young children. 

We don't believe that there is any one “right” way to raise kids—what worked so well with your first born may not work at all with your next child.  We believe parenthood can be challenging and rewarding at the same time and that the one thing we don’t need is any more guilt about how we’re doing things.    

This year we are continuing to bring parents, teachers and authors together, and want to expand our format to include panel discussions.  As always, we'll be recording our virtual events and will continue to provide an opportunity for authors to discuss their books in detail, and our members to submit questions.  We will also be selecting certain members to join our panel discussions, by phone, to discuss certain topics with the author/experts as well.

Access to our site, and our live calls remains free.  Just join our community to be notified of upcoming events, opportunities to participate online, and access to recorded content after the event.  We look forward to hosting relevant, timely discussions on issues that affect our families and expanding our network of parents, educators and kids. 

Feel free to recommend books to us, or volunteer a review of a book we are featuring.
