POPs Panel

Tuesday, 1 April 2014
9:30-11:30am

The upcoming meeting topic is one of our favorites at MOPs: our POPs Panel. What is a POPs Panel, you ask? It's a time to gather some of the husbands and dads who are doing this journey along side some of us to give us their perspectives on the Beautiful Mess that they also are finding themselves in these preschool years. It is always a meeting that increases our understanding and appreciation of our husbands and helps us come together more as a parenting team. 

So, please email us (mopssingapore@gmail.com) any questions that are on your hearts and minds that you would like to ask our POPs! (example from last year: when you have had a full day at work, what is the most helpful way for you to re-enter our home? Celebrations, pre-schooler style, or just some quick hellos and hugs before you have some down time? or How can we help support you in your role as a father? What is the hardest part of your role as a father? etc…) Or any thing at all! Just email Anna so we can get the questions to our dads to prepare a little before the meeting!
