North York Central Library Blog

Is it just me or did the summer
fly by?  I can hardly believe that school
starts tomorrow!   In the spirit of the
season, North York Central Library is hosting some ‘back to school’ programs especially
for paren'ts.  These programs aim to help
paren'ts hone their paren'ting skills, get some helpful advice and tips and
hopefully laugh as they learn.  Although
the programs are geared to paren'ts of young, school aged children; paren'ts of
all ages are welcome to attend. 

On
Tuesday September 17^th at
7pm, Kathy Buckworth, award winning author, columnist and CityLine paren'ting
expert, shares her expertise and her new book I Am So The Boss Of You: an 8
step guide to giving your family the “business.” This book and program will help
paren'ts to take back control in this humourous and practical guide by using
corporate principles and making them work on the home front. From the boardroom
to the family room, real tips and a lot of fun.

In
anticipation of the program have a look at Kathy’s books, all of which are available through the Toronto Public Library.
