Positive Parenting...
You have been given the greatest and most precious gift of all gifts... your child!
The relationship you share is a lifelong commitment that can only be fulfilled by you.
Parenting is exhausting as well as exhilarating. Each stage—from early childhood
through adulthood—requires different skills and approaches. The Eugene and Marcia
Applebaum Jewish Parenting Center exists for you, you and all the other parents faced
with the same concerns, challenges, and questions about raising happy, productive,
loving, caring and capable human beings, proud of their Jewish heritage.
