Wood Park in Hudson - All Ages Welcome
Wednesdays, July 9 -August 13
9:30 to 11am
We will be heading outdoors to facilitate activities at Wood Park on Park Street (right off of Rt. 85, by the high school) in Hudson. Come enjoy the activities and fun projects. The parent/caregiver must be present at all times and is responsible for their children’s whereabouts. If it’s sprinkling or looks like it’s going to rain, please assume that the playgroup will be canceled for that day. Since the playground/park has space, you do not need to pre-register to attend. Feel free to come and go at any time. We hope this will be an opportunity to meet new parents, and we encourage you to invite a friend or a neighbor as well.

Taking the Rush Out of the Hour
Tips for Morning and Evening Hours
Tues. Jan 15th 6:30 -8:00 pm Held at FN
Presenter: Families First Educator
Life for busy parents is characterized by the many tasks and responsibilities and not enough time or energy to do every-thing well. Whether a working family, single parent family, or active and busy, the stress of combining family and commitments often manifests itself most intensely in the morning and evening hours when families are making transitions in and out of the home. This workshop helps parents use a problem solving technique to sort out the problem areas of hectic times. Parents learn strategies for making these times less stressful and more positive.
