World Suicide Awareness day.  September 10th 2016. Join the walk, see this website 

What is good enough parenting?  Or what your child really needs from you (from babyhood to adolescence)...
There are so many parenting books and as many different perspectives on the ‘right’ way to bring up our children, that we often lose sight of the fundamentals.  Sara Hitchens, a psychotherapist with expertise in working with young people, will discuss what makes a ‘good enough’ parent, and how that can be better than being the ‘perfect parent,’ as well as how our children’s needs change as they grow up.
Saturday 17 September   10 – 11 am (with time for discussion afterwards)
At the Wesley Center, 6-10-11 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0062 http://wesley.or.jp/english/access/index.html
Fee 2000 yen
