Semaine Québécoise de la paternité June 12-18
Be a Team Right from the Start
The desire of Quebec parents to work as a team and have an egalitarian relationship is becoming increasingly apparent. A growing proportion of fathers wants to be both fully involved from the moment a child is conceived and to share tasks equally with their partners.
This year, the Semaine Québécoise de la Paternité focusses on encouraging parents to team up right from the start, and it invites organizations and institutions to fully integrate co-parental and paternal realities during the perinatal period.
The 11th edition of the event takes place from June 12 to June 18, 2023 under the theme “Be a team right from the start.”

When Three Becomes Four
My name is Marieve and I present to you my book: When Three Becomes Four. A story told by a child who describes the emotions he experiences in connection with the arrival of his little sister in the family. At the end of the book, he realizes that he loves being a big brother. Bringing another child into the family is magical, beautiful and challenging. My wish is that my book can be useful to families who are experiencing this emotional roller coaster.
Please check the link below to find out how to get a copy of the book.
