For parents seeking to be stronger and more human role models for their children. Gather to share ideas, listen and be heard.

This group meets every other week to support and learn from each other about keeping our kids human in an industry-generated culture.

Attendance is free, tea provided, contributions welcome.

From the back cover:

"Because we live in an industry-generated culture- a culture created and maintained by businesses- children's real human needs don't get met. Parenting Well in a Media Age, like no other book before it, articulates the challenges of parenting in our depersonalized society. It helps parents tap at the well of wisdom within and offers hopeful alternatives for parents and concerned adults wanting to maintain the humanity of our children and the integrity of our culture."
