March brings the promise of spring and the luck o’ the Irish to our doors. As they say, “If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough.”
During the 1920’s many folks were lucky enough to find a speakeasy during prohibition. Join us for our Winter Wine’d Up on March 8th as we celebrate doubling our impact this year while having fun at the
Speakeasy! Buy tickets today. In the meantime….
With spring comes new growth and it reminds us how quickly time flies especially as we watch our little ones emerge with new growth every time we turn around.
It is nature’s way that children are constantly changing and as they change so do we, their parents. Adapting to new skills and language abilities and cognitive leaps, (such as they now argue with everything), means parents are kept on their toes.
This never ending evolution results in rare times of settling in and feeling like there is NEVER a status quo. It can be exhausting, exciting, invigorating, confusing, difficult, and fantastic all at once.
In March we are all Irish yet good parenting may require more than luck. All parents need support and connections and ideas when they are at a loss, or even when they’re not! For those times we lock ourselves in the bathroom, want to scream yet we don’t, call a friend or our mom, good parenting takes on many shapes and forms. It’s not easy, but it is filled with joy and the promise of a new beginning.
Empowering parents is a core activity and value at Giraffe Laugh. Families stay strong when parents thrive. If you need help or just want to connect with other parents, please reach out, join one of our upcoming Ready! For Kindergarten workshops, PAC meetings, or talk with your child’s teacher. We are here to help, and if nothing else to help you see how common your family antics are. You are not alone.
Irish Proverb: May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Spring!
