If you participated in a PEPS group when your child was a baby, this may be familiar: it's parents of kids in the same grade level coming together to talk about their children and their parenting. It’s fun and social, but structured too – a perfect way to get to know other parents and share our experiences, advice and support. For more information, visit the QAE ParentNet website at qaeparentnet.weebly.com or email Jenny Brailey.
