Kamiah, Idaho – Families are invited to participate in a three-part Holiday Parent Café Series designed to strengthen connections, build resilience, and provide meaningful support for parents during the holiday season.

The series will take place on October 14, November 18, and December 16 at 6:00 p.m. Each Parent Café will include a complimentary dinner, free childcare, and an opportunity for parents to gather in a welcoming environment for conversation, learning, and community building.

The monthly themes include:
October 14: Spooky Good Support
Parents will explore the value of supportive relationships and community connections.
November 18: Gratitude and Grit
Participants will discuss resilience, perseverance, and the role gratitude plays in overcoming challenges.
December 16: Warmth in the Winter
The final café will focus on finding comfort, hope, and connection during the holiday season.

Parent Cafés are informal gatherings that encourage open dialogue, mutual support, and the sharing of experiences among caregivers. Organizers hope the series will provide parents with tools, resources, and relationships that strengthen families and communities.
As an added holiday benefit, parents who attend all three Parent Café events will receive $150 in Christmas shopping funds.
"Parenting can be challenging, especially during the holiday season," organizers said. "These cafés offer a chance for parents to connect with others, enjoy a meal together, and leave feeling supported and encouraged."

Registration is now open.

Screens are everywhere, leaving parents to wonder whether screen time is educational, distracting, or both.

Did you know that any program, app, or game can call itself education, even when they don’t help children learn or build the skills they claim?

Instead of posting pictures of your child online, let them create their own family album! Print a few photos, let your child pick their favorites, and put them somewhere they can reach it and flip through anytime.
Small moments like this help kids feel more connected and supported, without a screen in sight!

Young children are easily distracted by screens, even when it’s on in the background! Those loud voices, flashing lights, and fast-moving images make it harder for little brains to relax and settle down.
A screen-free bedtime routine can help children fall asleep more easily, sleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested.

Screens can feel like an “easy button” when things get stressful, and that’s a normal part of parenting! But nothing beats the benefits of face-to-face play, conversation, and shared activities that help build language skills, problem-solving, and emotional growth.
Simple offline activities like building, drawing, reading, or playing outside give children more opportunities to explore, learn, and connect with the people around them. 🎨☀️
