Kids and Kin announces programming
The first regular meeting of Franklin County’s Kids and Kin Program is right around the corner.
Kids and Kin targets relative caregivers like grandparents, aunts, uncles and older siblings of 19 years and older who provide care for a child younger than 13. The program provides classes, educational workshops, a quarterly newsletter, a network of caregivers and other resources for relative caregivers.
The first four meetings will be held in the Franklin Baptist Association’s Conference Room from 5-7 p.m. Meetings are free, with no income requirements.
Topics will include “Keeping Children with Disabilities,” (Aug. 10), “Respiratory Syncytial Virus” (Aug. 24), “Head Banging” (Sept. 7) and “The Five Love Languages of Children” (Sept. 28).
At each session, a children’s book is given away or an educational toy is raffled off. There is also a chance for participants to earn up to $150 worth of items from Lakeshore Learning Magazine through a Volunteer Certification Program.
