Have you ever felt alone as a new mom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After moving 3,000 miles a month before having my first child, I knew I needed to build a community of mom-friends. Thankfully, I discovered a safe community space where new moms could share their challenges, without judgment, and also have much-needed adult conversation! We often see the picture-perfect parts of motherhood online, not the sleepless nights and loneliness that can come with entering a new stage of life. By joining this moms group I learned I was NOT alone, rather I gained a safe space to talk about the struggles of being a new mom along with making many new friends. My longest active group text is with the dozen moms I met in my three-year-old’s baby group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did I learn after joining my first new mom group? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Socialization isn\u2019t just about finding your toddler friends, but building a positive mom-community! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I moved (again) last summer, as a mom of a one-year-old and two-year-old, I knew it would be imperative to build a supportive community of local mom-friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter THRIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Are you looking for a way to socialize with your little ones? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Would you like to find other moms\/caregivers to connect with? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Are you the caregiver of an under five-year-old?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you answered \u201cyes,\u201d THRIVE would be a wonderful fit. What I love about THRIVE is that they don\u2019t only provide an environment to socialize for your under 5\u2019s, but focus on the importance of connecting with other moms. I attend both Open Play and a regular playgroup, with both I know that not only does my little one have an opportunity to play, but more importantly I can build friendships and connections. (Other primary caregivers are welcome, for example, a grandmother that watches her young grandchild.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THRIVE also facilitates other early-childhood and parenting programming. A sampling of the programs THRIVE offers are: New Moms Groups, Autism Support groups, Dad\u2019s Groups, Working Parents Groups, Sleep\/Potty Training Workshops, and even more rotating programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Overview of THRIVE Parenting Resources: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Located at The Neurodevelopmental Institute of New Hampshire (NINH), 171 Londonderry Turnpike, Hooksett, New Hampshire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Open to parents in surrounding areas, many travel 30+ minutes to visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf      Variety of programming available, scheduling best accessed from THRIVE\u2019s Facebook page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
