Mother Goose helps parents strengthen bond with children

A commitment of a mere hour a week can enhance your relationship with your child.

A commitment of a mere hour a week can enhance your relationship with your child.

The Parent-Child Mother Goose program at Delta libraries shares traditional rhymes, songs and stories as tools to strengthen the bond between parent and child, newborn to 15 months.

This established program helps parents gain confidence while their child develops language, cognitive and social skills.

An added benefit is the opportunity for the adults, over snacks, to build a network of friendships and support.

Parents that would like to take part in this free inter-active program are asked to contact their local library to register.
