Sharing our Challenges

As new mothers trickle into our Good Sam Babies class, it is always good to have the core of mothers who know each other from the past semester. Building relationships between families is an important part of what we do - and helps to form support structures for the new mothers. This past week, there was an openness I haven't seen this early in the semester before, as mothers shared their challenges. Those who are not first time mothers are often less timid to share, and my hope is that this openness will be an encouragement to those who are facing motherhood for the first time.

On another note, I have run into students outside of class a number of times over the past couple of weeks. It's always good to see these toddlers with a book they have received from the Reading Tree in their hands!
