Great free workshop for ! Join us on March 10!

What if parents and schools could truly partner — not just coexist? Anna Sobel has spent her career as a translator between these two worlds, helping parents understand what's happening in the classroom and bringing that same lens home.

As Anna puts it: "Teachers have so much knowledge, but not necessarily the time or resources to share it with parents. And parents have so much knowledge about their child, but don't have the space to truly partner with schools in ways that would help."

She's working to change that — and we're bringing her to Rutgers Church to continue the conversation. Join us on Tuesday, March 10th for a free community session on boundaries with Anna Sobel: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boundaries-love-in-action-free-parenting-workshop-with-anna-sobel-tickets-1982797678231?aff=erelexpmlt

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone who simply wants to show up better for the young people in your life, this one's for you. Free and open to all.

📍 Rutgers Presbyterian Church, 236 W 73rd St, New York, NY.

Two sessions remain for parents of children ages 2–5:
📅 March 10 – Boundaries: Love in Action
📅 April 14 – Untangling Power Struggles

Why won't they just put on their shoes? How do I set limits without losing my mind—or damaging our relationship? Is this power struggle normal?
If questions like these sound familiar, join early childhood expert Anna Sobel for three workshops that will change how you think about the daily battles of parenting young children.
📅 Feb 10 – Building Independence
📅 March 10 – Boundaries: Love in Action
📅 April 14 – Untangling Power Struggles
Anna brings 20+ years of experience helping families move from frustration to connection. Each session (9:15–10:45am in the Sanctuary) blends mindfulness, practical tools you can use immediately, and honest conversation with other parents who get it.
You'll walk away with real scripts for tricky moments, a clearer understanding of what's developmentally normal, and the reminder that struggling doesn't mean you're failing.
$50 for all three workshops | Limited tickets available
