KENNEWICK, Wash.- New
moms and dads who may be a bit overwhelmed by the whole parenthood experience
can get help.
The Children's Reading
Foundation of the Mid-Columbia this week begins a series of free parent
education workshops.
Coordinator Joely NyeFelt
says the six sessions cover a wide range of topics to help parents with proper
nutrition, safety, and early education.
"You'll know what developmental
milestones your child should be reaching at three, six and nine months. You'll
know how to introduce solids when you come out of that class. You'll know when
you need to take your baby to the doctor, how high a fever you need to be
concerned about."
Parents attending the
classes will be eligible to receive a free children's book every month for five
years through the Dolly Imagination Library.
Classes start at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Keewaydin Library in Kennewick. Evening classes will be held
at 6 p.m. at the Children's Center on Georgia Avenue in Richland. Spanish
classes will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Pasco Library.
To register call 222-7323.
