DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN AND PARK SLOPE: FAMILY CAMP FAIRS

Saturday, February 7: 12-3 pm (Downtown Brooklyn)

Sunday, February 8: 12-3 pm (Park Slope)

I have to say I can’t imagine trying to wade through all the camps when Birch comes of age. It seems like it will entail hours of internet surfing. Not so- says, New York Family Magazine. They are having their high quality camp fairs this weekend. Forget the internet search…check these camps out in person- with your kids! There will be over 40 camps represented. The Camp Fair Downtown will be at Friends Seminary School and the one in Park Slope will be at Berkeley Carroll School. To register for them go to NY Family Magazine’s website.

PROSPECT HEIGHTS: FILM FESTIVAL

Saturday, February 7: 2:30 pm

The International School of Brooklyn is hosting a Children’s International Film Day all in Spanish. How cool is that! I wish we could go- but apparently is is best for kids aged 5 years plus. They will be screening “El Bosque Animado”- an animated film.  The admission is free, but they are having a bake sale at the same time- so grab your wallet before heading out the door.

PARK SLOPE: PARENTING SEMINARS

Thursday, February 12: 1-2:30 pm

One of our Experts- Alice Kaltman has two events this month.  You may know Alice from her writing here or you might have heard of Family Matters from word of mouth. I highly recommend this upcoming seminar, “Playdate Politics”. I did go to this recently and gained a lot out of it.  Her talk helped me to understand my child’s temperment and how he works in a play environment. It also helped me understand other parents’ expectations too. Her second talk is for Brooklyn Baby Bites on “Going Back to Work”. My friend, G, went to this last month and said it was so important to her that she scheduled a time for herself to sit down and write down all her thoughts about it. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to gear up for parenting without Alice’s seminars. For all of Family Matters upcoming seminars check out their events pages.

Playdate Politics and Peer Smarts: How to help your child develop compassionate social skills and become a good friend.
