Join us on Tuesday, May 8th from 5:30pm-8pm at Riverwalk Golf Club for an open forum workshop hosted by BAD Moms and led by an amazing mother, pediatric psychologist and owner/director of San Diego Kids First Dr. Deborah Pontillo. Workshop will begin at 6pm sharp - networking and check-in from 5:30pm-6pm. We will have some amazing raffles too! This workshop is for moms with children of any age (even if you are pregnant and just want to come and learn more!). As a mother and founder of BAD Moms, there isn't a day that goes by that I am not on google or texting another mom friend with questions on health, discipline, tantrums etc. So this experience will be so amazing to get a professionals opinion that is backed by education and her experience as a mother and pediatric psychologist. And did I mention there will be wine?? Your ticket also includes a glass of Cabernet or Chardonnay. Additional food and beverage is available and encouraged to purchase throughout the night. Dr. Pontillo will cover lightly on the following topics, but will mainly be looking for us to come prepared with questions. We want this to be an engaged and lively workshop and she will guide the discussion based on the audience that is in attendance. Please send any questions or topics (outside of the realm below) you have ahead of time to [email protected] as depending on attendance/turnout questions might be pre-selected to guide the workshop. 1 Behavioral challenges 2.
