JCC East Bay Parent Seminar "Letting Go, Holding On" with Janet Harris, MA
We need to learn when to extend the string and when to pull it back. Parents are letting go from the moment their child is born. We will explore the nuances of letting our children develop their own identities, from free range parenting to attachment parenting. Does Jewish tradition have anything to say about Letting Go? We'll find out!
