This group was started by two therapists/coaches, Ginny Inglese and Rachel Bailey, who are also parents. In our professional lives, we have over 30 years of combined experience working with hundreds of parents (and non-parents!). Every day we help parents, adolescents, couples, and families deal with issues such as low self-esteem, eating disorders, bullying, academic difficulties, and other stressful situations. Throughout this process, many parents have recognized that in order to help their e …

Most of us 1st and 2nd generation parents in our 20's, 30's and 40's wish to raise our kids within the Indian culture, like our parents tried to do with us. What better way to do this than to socialize with other like minded parents so our kids can be in their cultural surroundings with similar backgrounds, language, food and festivals! If you have young kids or you are about to become a new parent, then lets meet up and create a good group of friends for our kids and ourselves!  We'll share our …

SPOTR is a group of single parents who enjoy active lifestyles both with and without their children. But as single parents we all face challenges in finding the time away from our children to pursue our passions for running and physical activity.

Whether you're looking to get out for a short run or if you want to train for a marathon let a SPOTR help you.

I have yet to find an active group of single Muslim parents in the DC area who meet regularly and do activities with their children, so I figured I just need to start my own group!

I am a working mom of a 15-month-old daughter who lives in Loudoun County and wants to meet other moms (and dads) who understand what it is like to juggle parenting and all of the other demands of daily living in this area. I've looked for other meetups like this one, but most of the meetings are during the week during the day. This meetup group will be for parents who want to get together (for playdates, parents events, family outings) on weekends -- and maybe for some dessert/chat on weeknight …

A group for parents, who have kids with asthma and food allergies. A place where we can exchange ideas, as well as get our children to meet others like them. It can be hard sometimes with asthma and food allergies. I want our kids to know that it is ok and that there are ways to work around them. I also want it to be a place where parents can meet others in the same situations and learn from each other.

Looking to start a group of older (you define) parents. We are in are 40's and our baby was born on July 14 2011. This group is intended to further the needs of working parents and their children and as such will meet in the evenings or on weekends.

I wanted to create this group because I am a fulltime older (mid 30's) working mother of a toddler in the Falls Church area. I noticed that there were definitely other groups for working moms of babies and mature mothers in other regions of NOVA, but had a hard time finding something for this group. I would like this group to be dedicated to providing fun activities for you and your children at a working parent's (not just mom's) schedule. We would like to build friendships not only for my toddl …

The purpose of this group is for parents who live in the DC Metro area to meet, mostly on weekends, and play German-style board games. We can also work out communal babysitting opportunities so that players can have some quality adult time. From Wikipedia: "German-style board games are a broad class of tabletop games that generally have simple rules, short to medium playing times, indirect player interaction and attractive physical components. The games emphasize strategy, play down luck and con …
