Thank you to everyone who attended Julie Lythoctt-Haims's presentation, "How to Raise a Successful Kid" on November 30, 2023. We hope you found Julie's presentation insightful and engaging. If you attended and would like more information about Julie's one week cleanse, see attached information from Julie. Inspired by Julie's presentation, DPN encourages you to join us the week of January 21-28, 2024 for our Inaugural Community Cleanse. We look forward to working together as a community of parents to reconnect with our kids. After the weeklong cleanse, we invite all participants to meet on Thursday, February 1, 2024 at 7:30 pm at Rosati's in Bannockburn for our Community Cleanse Conversation. We hope you are motivated to join us in this opportunity to change our parenting narrative!
