The Meet and Eat Classes will be using the "Good Inside" Curriculum. "Good Inside" is a book written by Dr. Becky Kennedy, a clinical psychologist named the "The Millennial Parenting Whisperer" by Time Magazine. Her book was a #1 bestseller on the New York Times list, and she has amassed over 1.7 million followers on Instagram. The Good Inside philosophy teaches us to be sturdy leaders and set boundaries while maintaining a connection with our kids. Join us on Tuesdays to learn "actionable strategies that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership."
