This is your yahoo! group and is for Waterbury residents only. Its a more private way of communicating rather than the website, open to anyone to see what is going on. The most effective thing parents can do is to make friends with other parents. A social group of peers will give you so many new options. You can trade childcare using the babysitting co-op or spend social time with other parents. Joining the babysitting cooperative is an inexpensive and a supportive way to socialize.

-A social group that understands the limits parenting puts on your socialization.
-An all-important peer group for your children as they develop and go to school, and "extended family," that the children can say they "grew up with" even if your genetic family lives far away.
--babysitting with trusted adults rather than teenagers or young adults.
--cost free babysitting
--Date nights: When you nuture your couple relationship and find support as parents, you'll take a lot of stress and pressure out of parenting. Until you experience it you don't know what you are missing!
