About this Event

In this storytime for caregivers of young children we'll tend to creating joy as an effective parent with all the tumult surrounding us.
Together, you'll be read to from tender books that will affirm and encourage you, learn tips for parenting mindfully during unprecedented times, and participate in holistic, therapeutic activities designed with you in mind (but that you can totally share with your kiddo later...).
This storytime, specifically, will reflect on finding and creating joy during stressful times with positive psychology, mindfulness, and trauma-informed parenting.
Please come cozy (a light, clean blanket is welcome if you want to get really cozy!) and be prepared to feel some emotions.

About the teacher:

Megan Schadlich is an information scientist working at the intersection of youth mental health and positive family dynamics. She's worked with kids of all ages for 31 years and as a children's librarian for 12 years.

Her company, The Healing Library creates free kits for families who have experienced trauma filled with ways to move forward in holistic, healthy ways. She's written a book on library services, won several writing awards from the American Library Association, spoken all over the country as a coach and consultant, and has worked all over the world in libraries.

As a kid, her favorite cartoon was Danger Mouse, her favorite song was Stevie Wonder's Part Time Lover, and her favorite activity was playing dress up.
