Dear friends and family,
We would like to thank everyone who participated in our facebook parenting tip contest. There were so many great pieces of advice and it was indeed difficult to pick a winner. However, at this time we would like to congratulate Mannychristie Briceno for sharing with us the winning tip:
"Try not to be your child's walking manual, referee and rescuer. Let them figure out how to do things on their own, come up with solutions and even fall down once in a while. They will have greater self-esteem, problem solving skills, and lessons learned to reflect upon in their future endeavors." |
Everyone needs a friend
"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are." -Anonymous Everyone wants to belong, to feel connected and be with others who share attitudes, interests, and circumstances similar to their own. Girls with special needs can benefit greatly from peer support and relationships with other girls on the spectrum. Enjoying a real friendship -- someone who cares, and thinks you are wonderful can make a world of difference. The Wylie Center has provided the perfect environment for Girls ages 13 - 17 to meet other girls in a safe environment and with a trained facilitator. Don't wait any longer, sign up today! For dates and times please call (951) 683-5193 |
