October’s Coffee with the Counselors will focus on the vulnerability of parenting. School Counselors Ann Van Buskirk and Katie Polanco will lead a discussion about how parents can make peace with their own vulnerabilities and strong emotions while creating space for the lightness, joy, and a lack of intensity that sets the stage for healthy development and trusting children to follow their own paths.
All Springmont parents and caregivers are welcome to join Ann and Katie for coffee and conversation on Wednesday, October 1, beginning at 8:45 am, in the counseling office.
Kindly click the link in Springmont Weekly News to RSVP by Sept 30 at 3 pm so that we can plan seats and breakfast treats. Please feel free to include any questions or thoughts you may have.

“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did – that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that – a parent’s heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.” – Debra Ginsberg
