Teen MOPs

Teen MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers)  provides a nonjudgmental environment where teen moms can come together for support, friendship and encouragement. We believe that teen moms can be GREAT moms!  Your energy and resourcefulness is amazing, and we want to help you rediscover your potential!   The challenges of teen parenting are NOT insurmountable, and we are here to cheer you on! 

Our weekly meetings (each Wednesday at 7pm) alternate between an instructional topic (i.e. health issues, parenting, goal setting) and “creative expression” (crafts, cooking, games, movie night, etc.). 

Loving “mentor moms” are there to help you find the answers to the questions you “didn’t necessarily want to ask your mom”!  Teen moms have told us about their challenges, such as…

• Taking my baby to the doctor with my mom and the doctor won’t look at me, but talks directly to my mom (the baby’s grandmother!)
• Trying to discipline my toddler and my mom always rescues him
• Wanting to hang out with my friends for just one night and there is no one to babysit
• Finding that my friends and I have grown apart because we don’t have much in common now

We have found that you will often find your own answers – you just need someone to listen to you!  Come check it out this week!  We will be happy to see you!
