Moms

From navigating breastfeeding to nurturing literacy skills, YPN is here to answer questions, lend an ear, and provide valuable resources. The YPN Moms Group will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to prepare your child, from prenatal to kindergarten, for a stronger start in life.
Who can take part?

Focused Programming
Understanding Dads (for Moms)
In a strained co-parent relationship, a mother’s gatekeeping behavior can often prevent or reduce fathers’ access to their kids, when the father’s involvement would actually be beneficial to the children. The Understanding Dad program helps mothers better understand the importance of involving dad in their children’s lives, and how to better communicate with the father(s).
