Reference Library for Parents
Helping parents and caregivers succeed at the most
challenging job on the planet -- raising children -- is a
big part of Habitot's mission. Our Parent Resource Center
provides visiting parents, teachers and caregivers with a
reference library of parenting books, videos, and other resource
materials, plus handouts on up to date parenting topics. Habitot
also publishes "Parent to Parent" brochures on typical
early childhood behaviors and learning strategies to use with
young children. Family members can check out the library’s
references. Our on-site family resource coordinator will help
you find materials that interest you.
Habitot's Other Parenting Resources
Sign up for Habitot's electronic newsletter Totmail.
Along with news and information about the museum, Totmail
addresses a different parenting topic each month. The newsletter
cites books, references, and articles available in our library
and lists helpful websites, too. We do not share or trade
email addresses with anyone. To sign up, please email us at
hcmimc@habitot.org.
Parenting
classes are also offered throughout the year, two to three
evenings a week. Topics addressed in classes include early
childhood learning and development, children's learning styles,
communication skills, discipline strategies, childhood
safety and dealing with temperament. Classes emphasize
the development of successful parenting strategies, alternatives
to physical punishment, children's mental health and basic
safety of children (CPR, choke-saving and first aid). Classes
reflect community needs such as a recent workshop in helping
children deal with scary events, world crises and other emergencies.
Scholarships and child care are available for classes.
