Strong4Life Sessions
Navigating toddlerhood isn’t easy. But it’s so, so worth it as you watch your little one learn and grow. And, if you want a little extra support, we’re here to help with parent and caregiver education.
We’re developing and launching live parenting webinars all about the challenges unique to toddlerhood. Each live session will:
- Be presented by a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta expert. We have doctors, nurses, mental health experts, dietitians and more on staff to offer you evidence-based tips and advice.
- Be offered mid-day and in the evening to fit your busy schedule.
- Come with a certificate of completion, plus resources and further reading on related topics, for those who complete a post-training survey.
