Greetings!
As June approaches, we'd like to wish all the dads a happy Father's Day and extend our congratulations to parents who are celebrating a child's graduation. Each milestone brings with it joy, anticipation and a little trepidation. We celebrate with you and we're here to provide resources to help you through the uncertainty of each parenting experience. We hope you enjoy this issue of the NAMC eNews. Best wishes,
Linda Lisi Juergens

Happy Camper Is your child ready for sleepaway camp?
Summer camp, with all its attendant bugs, s'mores and new friends, is a child's first step toward independence from parents.
It's also an important educational experience in getting along with peers, being responsible and working with others to achieve a common goal-traits children will need as they grow into adulthood.
