What you experience as a child shapes the adult you become. That means you can change a child’s entire trajectory by giving them access to safe, innovative, and educational play experiences. And that’s the stuff we live for. You’re here to show your child they matter. LCM is here to strengthen and support your journey. And we’re going to have so much fun while we do it!

In Dialogue Series
February In Dialogue: Sharing a Love of Reading With Your Child
February 11 12:00 p.m.

Chief Learning Officer Dr. Shannon Blady and In Dialogue Director Holly Dalferes will discuss choosing and sharing books with children of all ages, including tips to take your read aloud skills to the next level. Research shows that reading to children from infancy can improve their vocabulary, increase their capacity for problem solving, and allow them to experience more advanced concepts and structures of language than they are ready to navigate while reading on their own. We’ll also give some recommendations for titles to add to your booklist.
The LCM In Dialogue Series is dedicated to connecting to our families and educators through discussing important topics that impact the health and wellness of our children. We host monthly online, interactive sessions with local health professionals and experts who discuss topics that impact children and families, including parent-child attachment, gun violence, screen time, eating habits, and so much more. These webinars are recorded and can be found on our YouTube channel, providing a library of materials for our community. For questions or suggestions, please contact our Chief Learning Officer, Shannon Blady at sblady@lcm.org.
