Hello butterflies! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is being kind enough to yourselves to rest and recoup from all the holiday festivities. Here is a video to bring some cheer. As we come into the new year we often refocus and reset our goals. As a parent what are you looking to accomplish for your children in the upcoming year? Maybe it’s helping them: 🦋 Find an interest 🦋Connect with someone in a field of interest 🦋Find career pathway information Whatever is you have support for that here. Let’s come up with a plan and hit the ground running in January! Need help figuring it out? Let me know! What support do you need for your kiddo in 2025?

Hello you beautiful souls! My name is Tonya and I am supporting my son on his career journey. I thought, surely other parents need help in this area so why not support others along the way? I want to create a community of resources for parents to help their children find their passion and turn it into a career. There are lots of ways to do that which we will explore along the way. I have one biological son at home in high school and his desire is to make music and be a part of the Nerdcore Party Con (NPC) world. Don't know what that is? Just ask! I have two step-children who have pretty much flown the coop and are doing well! Make an introduction post and tell us about yourself, how many kids you have, what are their career interests, or how you can offer support to parents in this community! So excited to be here and I can't wait to get to know you all!

Being a dad is one of the most meaningful roles I’ve ever had, but sometimes, it’s also the most heartbreaking. I’ve always tried to show up, to be present, and to do everything I can to let my daughters know how much I love them. And yet, there’s this distance I can’t seem to bridge—a space that feels so much bigger than I want it to be. I don’t have all the answers, and maybe I never will, but being their dad means I’ll keep showing up. I’ll keep trying. I’ll keep loving them, even from a distance, because that’s what being a parent is about—loving unconditionally, no matter how hard it gets. If you’ve ever felt this way as a parent, you’re not alone. I think we’re all just doing the best we can, hoping that one day, they’ll see it.

Hello, Butterflies! With all of the activities and prep for Christmas that I need to I think I need to take a break until after Christmas. Please feel free to continue posting and interacting in the group. I'll continue to post and work out some technical issues I'm having for recording classroom modules. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. Are they any issues you are having right now you need support with? I'm still here in the group and in messages if need be! I'll continue working on getting more members into the group so we can hit the ground running in 2025! I won't be doing the Parent Power Hour until Jan. 6. All you need do is look in the calendar as it is now updated. Much love!

Hello butterflies! I have finally found the perfect space for us to come together and for me to make modules in. The power of networking is amazing as that is how I found this space. A friend on Owwll was telling me about GoBrunch. You can purchase templates or design your own room. I'm starting off with a template and then for the podcast will design a custom room which will solve my technical issues I've been having! I am sooooooo exctied I'll be offering a tutorial on it soon and will begin recording content to put here in our classroom. I couldn't wait to share the space with you! Feel free to go in and take a look at it. Check it out: https://gobrunch.com/parentsupportnetwork See you in the classroom!
