Here is a full list of the Expo Sessions and Descriptions:

Session 1: Parenting 101: Structure, Routines, & Consistency- The aim of this course is understanding how structure, routines, and consistency are essential concepts to effective parenting. We will explore the strong links between these concepts and achieving success not only in the home but also in life.

Session 2A: Single Parenting- In this course, attendees will learn first-hand from a mother and grandmother who successfully raised five children alone after the death of her husband.

Session 2B: Co-Parenting- Parents who are no longer together as a couple are still equally responsible for the healthy upbringing of their shared children.

Topics include when rules are different in each household, how to effectively communicate concerns regarding the child, sorting out holidays and weekends, and more.
