The Neighborhood is a new organization created by parents and
dedicated to the support of young families in our community. We
believe that parents of young children are doing a very important job.
The foundation for healthy development is laid in the first five years
of a child’s life and today’s preschoolers will build tomorrow’s
world. The job of raising young children is a joy and a privilege. It
is also relentlessly demanding and often isolating. Our organization
was formed to strengthen families through peer support and practical
services designed to reduce parental stress.
Child welfare
professionals have identified five protective factors most effective
in preventing adverse childhood experiences which can lead to problems
later in life. They are
• Parental resilience
• Social
connections
• Concrete support in times of need
• Knowledge
of parenting and child development
• Social and emotional
competence of children
We at The Neighborhood have found that our
friendships with other families naturally inoculate us with these five
protective factors. We socialize. We share parenting skills and
knowledge of child development. We help each other in times of need.
Our friendships reduce our stress and bring us joy and peace which we
can pass on to our children. There are many parents in our communities
raising their young children in relative isolation with little
support. We want to offer a place where families can come to receive
these gifts of friendship.
