Dear young parents & would be parents, The world today knows that 80% of the brain development happens during the first 8 years of your child. Also the right brain development is complete by the time your child becomes 4 years. This means that your child’s emotional development, intuition and creativity is locked after he is 4. The happiness quotient is based on these aspects of your child. Parents are the first Gurus of the child. Only through aware parenting we can develop our child to be a …

Are you recently divorced, separated or a single parent by choice? Do you have toddlers or young children and are you looking to connect with other single parents for support, friendships and play dates? We all know how unique and challenging the single parenting experience can be and I'd like to form a network of fun, mindful parents trying to navigate these waters in West LA. Suggestions for activities and offers to host events warmly welcomed

This group is for parents who seek to build community through meaningful friendships, find creativity in shaping the lives of our children, and learn parenting techniques along the way. I have decided to start this group because I too seek community and I want to share what I have learned as an early childhood educator and parent coach. It is my hope to offer many group meetings and times. Why the Art of Parenting? Just as an artist uses different brushes, colors or tools to create a painting or …

  Got MoM grew out of the desire to connect with other moms and share common experiences. I am a first time mommy and with that come lots of trial and errors. As I go through this awesome journey of parenthood I also can't seem to forget that I am an adult and let's face it we need to interact with other adults from time to time. I wanted to form a group where moms like me can come together and discuss what really goes on in our daily lives. So if you have children ages 0-7 yrs and need a place …

My husband and I waited a long time before starting our family and would like to meet other parents that did the same. We've found that starting a family and being new parents when you're 30+ years old poses it's own unique challenges and joys. There are so many new parents that are in their 20's, we'd like to meet some new gen x'er parents.

  We are 40-something parents of a four-year old looking for other single-child families with similar interests for play dates and other get-togethers.

At first Meetups will take place in local parks and playgrounds, generally on a Saturday or Sunday. As we get to know one another better we can pla …

Since she only has brothers, i decided to start this Meetup for toddler girsl 2.5-5yo who are also into anything shiny, glamour, and most of all making friends for life! I would like to take turns hosting tea parties, movies, and dress up.

Welcome! The goal of this group is to use A Course In Miracles as a foundation and apply it to parenting our children as well as to everyday life. It is called Miracle-Minded parenting because according to A Course, a miracle is a shift in perception and this is what I would love for each of us to experience. What if we could see every day challenges as opportunities for growth and as lessons that God wants us to learn so we could experience peace? Are you in the midst of “terrible-twos” and wan …

Moms & Dads who work real jobs (Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm) but still want their kids to have the opportunities for play dates and also to meet other parents. I think that socialization is important for our children, and for us, and although some of our kids get that at daycare/preschool, we don't get to participate. Meet nearby Parents, come to a local Meetup for friendship, reassurance, parenting, stories and fun. This is intended to be a family group, so it is open to moms, dads, married pare …

I started this group so I can find other parents who want to take their baby or toddler to new and exciting places to stimulate their growth and development. I figure it would be more fun to explore what Long Beach and the surrounding areas have to offer with other parents. This way the kids can socialize and the parents can share their experiences in various natural or culturally interesting settings. If you have a baby or toddler and are looking for adventure, join this group!

Are you a geeky parent and are looking for other like minded people to hang out with and have play dates with? Well, you've found the right group. We're a bunch of math and science nuts with a little bit of advanced degrees thrown in. Come and join us.
