The new "POP, Parents of Pre-Schoolers" group is for parents of children birth- age 5 to talk, enjoy refreshments, and learn about various aspects of child development from local experts. It is also a great place to meet other parents and support one another in learning what's best for young children. Supervised playtime is available while the group is meeting.

In recent months, the Prospect Heights Public Library has hosted different experts on several topics parents expressed an interest in learning more about. These topics included attachment parenting, healthy eating, bedtime blues and potty training.

The Prospect Heights Public Library is looking forward to hosting Dr. Rob Daniels', Prevent Bullying program on April 11, 11:00 am - noon. Attendees will learn how to model and teach the behavior you want to see in your preschool children. Dr. Daniels will demonstrate how to implement proactive, positive behavioral interventions to teach kindness, patience, flexibility, and empathy.

POP! Parents of Preschoolers programs run during the school year once a month on Tuesdays from 11:00 am - noon on assigned dates. For more information, contact the Prospect Heights Public Library at (847) 259-3500 or visit www.phpl.info
