Parent-Child Connection Hikes: Collaboration of Thrive + Ojai Unified School District

This offering is a chance to spend some intentional time with your child and practice being fully present with each other. We will discuss when you feel connected and disconnected to get to know this better and find the unique ways to connect within your family. This experience is for you if you:

• Feel disconnected or distant from your child or teen
• Have trouble making time for family conversations
• Struggle to find family time together that doesn’t involve screens
• The stress of the pandemic has crept into your life
• You want to slow down in nature with your family
