Emotional Intelligence is essential for academic and life success, perhaps even more so than cognitive ability. This involves awareness and understanding of one’s own feelings, skills to manage strong emotions, and the ability to relate to the emotions of others. Join two Kingsbury psychologists (virtually) to learn how parents can coach their children through the turbulent world of childhood emotions to develop stronger emotional awareness, greater self-control, and closer connections with others.
Join us for a brunch and discussion about the challenges of raising Jewish Children in an interfaith family / predominantly non – Jewsh community.
The brunch is adult focused but childcare/kids program will be available in another room.
The discussion is geared toward interfaith families but ALL Families are welcome.

Sexual abuse and prevention is an uncomfortable subject. Unfortunately, it’s also something we parents have to think about, as we constantly entrust the safety of our kids to schools, camp, religious institutions, sports, babysitters, and other care settings. How can you know whether your child is in an environment that takes sexual abuse prevention seriously? What are the key questions to ask and red flags to look for, and how do you feel confident raising this issue in the first place? What can you do to teach your child to identify risks and speak up with their concerns? How do you make your child a “tough target”?
Join Meira Ellias, a mom, Clinical Social Worker, and Psychotherapist with deep experience in sexual abuse trauma and prevention, for a candid workshop with the goal of empowering parents with education and real-life tools to handle these difficult issues.
With the spread of COVID-19, teams and businesses across the globe have suddenly gone remote with minimal planning. With schools closed and work open, working parenthood feels different and has become more stressful than ever. Join executive coach, and founder of Something Major, Randi Braun, for a “Surviving or Thriving While Remote?” virtual workshop. This workshop will help individuals thrive while balancing personal, family, and business needs in this unprecendented moment. Drawing on Randi’s practical experience from her executive coaching work, participants will learn:
- Tactics for effective communication and time managment, both top down and bottom up
- Strategies for balancing personal and family needs with business needs
Each participant will walk away with a framework for designing an individualized “Thriving While Remote” plan.
Grab a coffee and chat with other parents of newborns ages 0-6 months at this laid-back get-together.
Shoshana will be hosting this event.

Join us for coffee, the company of other new parents, and a relaxed conversation about how to take your own newborn photos using your phone or camera. Kimberly Goldwein, newborn and family photographer of Kimberly Goldwein Photography, will walk you through the basics of taking beautiful, natural light portraits of your newborn and assist you in taking practice shots of your own baby using your phone or camera. Babies and phones/cameras are warmly welcome but not required to attend this session.
