It's a New Year, and with that, an opportunity for a fresh start! Teachers, care providers, guardians and parents all deserve to take a deep breath and acknowledge the challenge of this past year and the effort and energy it has required from us all. One of the main messages for parents in Talking is Teaching is, "you have what it takes." You already have the resiliency, the intuition, the skills, and the love to be your child's first and best teacher. And as we continue to stay at home and stay safe, we hope Talking is Teaching can be an important resource to families in the months to come. Please consider joining us for our monthly virtual events below.
