Connected Parenting to Team Up with Camp to Belong

Connected Parenting founder Jennifer Kolari is set to join the board and camp standards committee of Camp to Belong. CTB is an organization that reunites siblings who have been placed in separate foster, adoptive or kinship homes. Summer camp and year-round programs are specifically designed to nurture sibling bonds. Host camps across the United States and in Australia work with CTB to give siblings a “safe, neutral, week-long camp environment to create childhood memories together.”

When Jennifer heard about Camp to Belong and spoke with founder Lynn Price, she immediately saw a way to contribute. Jennifer’s Connected Parenting philosophy and her CALM method were born out of her experience in group homes early in her career. Jennifer can’t wait to work with CTB to implement the Connected Parenting model and to enhance their existing programming!

"Connected Parenting advises us not just how to parent, but—far more important—who to be as parents. The therapeutic methods suggested by Jennifer Kolari are based not on simple-minded behavioural solutions, but on building warm, nurturing relationships with our children, with insight and compassion not only for their little flaws, but also for our own larger ones."
—Gabor Maté, M.D.

"A must read for parents, educators, and any other adults who want to connect in a deeply caring and positive way with the children in their lives."
