We will be hosting a table at the week of the young child on April 17th from 11-2. The event will be held at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex. There will be lots of activities for the kids. Come out and play as a family and stop by our table and say hi!

We will be hosting a family bowling outing. This will be a chance for some healthy competition and a great chance for Dad's to get in on the action. We will be doing Mom's vs. Dad's and there will be a prize for the highest score. Kids can choose whose team they will be on. The event will be on February 5th at 11AM, at the Brunswick Zone on Weber just off of 55. Please register for this event so I know how many people are interested. E-mail me with how many people in your family will join us at patricia@napervilleapi.org

Bill and Martha Sears are on the API forums discussing family nutrition. Join in on the conversation and get your questions answered! It is free for members, and a nominal fee for non-members!

How Much Is Enough? Attachment Parenting, Permissive Parenting, and Overindulgence

Register at: http://ask.attachmentparenting.org/ for this call to hear hosts Lu Hanessian and API cofounder Barbara Nicholson talk with Jean Illsley Clarke about current information regarding parenting and tough traits like greed, helplessness, and self-centeredness, and discuss:

* Can I give my children too much?
* How do I recognize overindulgence?
* Toys, events, and activities: meeting the child's needs or the parent's needs?
* What effect does overindulgence have on effort, learning, and potential and my child's life aspirations?
* Overindulgence and common parenting challenges like television/screen time and chores

Please submit your questions to API Live (apilive@attachmentparenting.org) and we will make every effort to address them during the call.
