Local parenting and wellness advocates have teamed up with Nurture Parenting to organize “Parenting Through Cold & Flu Season” in Springfield, on Thursday, November 14 at the First Presbyterian Church, 37 Church Mall. Registration is $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

Four parenting experts will share strategies based in both professional training and personal experience: Dr. Larry Palevsky, a board-certified pediatrician and author; Kelly Brogan, MD, medical director for Nurture Parenting; Mary Coyle, a homeopath and director of the Real Child Center; and Louise Kuo Habakus, executive director of Nurture Parenting and Life Health Choices.

Topics to be covered include what it means to be sick, key culprits that slam the immune system, and how to build a natural medicine cabinet. The program, which begins at 7pm, is preceded by a one-hour reception with refreshments and exhibitors. In addition to a lengthy Q&A session, there will be raffles, book signings, and generous goodie bags!
