Children’s Owners Manual Needed!
Children’s Hospital Colorado is presenting several free parenting seminars this winter. Kids don’t come with an owner’s manual, so sometimes parents need a quick tip, a new idea or maybe a little support to get through the teenage years and onto the growing and learning. That’s where Children’s Colorado experts can help.
Admission is free, but space is limited. Interested participants can sign-up online for seminars and reserve free child care at www.childrenscolorado.org/
