Summer 2011 Schedule
Parent/Child Activities
Welcome to Parenthood
Join The Center for Parenting Education and Abington Memorial Hospital's Childbirth Education Department for a morning of fun as we share experiences, learn about parenthood, and make friends. Starting with your birthing experience and continuing on to your new role as a parent, we will share the expectations we have for ourselves as well as the realities of giving birth and being a parent.
The beginning of this journey is a precious period in your life that deserves your attention. Make time for you and your baby by attending this group. Get the support to make the transition into parenthood as smooth as possible, learn the skills to increase your confidence, and make connections with other new parents.

10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
