2012 Parenting Seminars at Children's Hospital
Colorado
Free Parenting Seminars Are Back!
Parenting. There’s a lot to it. No one knows your kids like you do, but sometimes you need a quick tip, a new idea and maybe a little support to get past the fussing and on to the laughing, growing, learning and living. That’s where the experts at Colorado Children’s can help.
Children’s Hospital Colorado is committed to providing a full range of pediatric services, often including services not available anywhere else. Our parenting seminars are one way we are able to share our pediatric expertise with you and your family.
For those parenting seminars held at Children's Colorado, child care will be provided in the Creative Play Center by a corps of specially trained Children's volunteers. There is a maximum of 25 children who can be supervised during each seminar, so RSVPs for child care will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registrations will only be taken online. If you are registering multiple children, you will need to fill out separate online registration forms for each child.
