It is a time of change in my family.  My oldest has been working as a computational chemist in New York City, a job she is now leaving. She is looking to move into something a little more outdoorsy, like leading kayaking excursions in Alaska!  She is calling it her gap year and viewing herself as a late bloomer. Her younger sister has decided to major in economics and can draw in charts and explain in $20 words how crazy her sister is.  The fun of parenting never ends! 

Welcome to 2018!  January seems to be Focus on Parenting Month at the Chicago Gifted Community Center!  This is good news for all of you who resolved to take an occasional break from the kids and work on your own needs this year.  Please take a moment to sign up for something! We all look forward to meeting a few new, interesting people this month! 

As always, if you have suggestions or questions, please be in touch: NewenkaDuMont@ChicagoGiftedCommunity.org.
