Join us for the next meeting of the WWN Book Club. We will be reading The Other Black Girl: A Novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris. We hope you will join us for a great discussion. New members are always welcome!

The Working Women’s Network is hosting a bi-weekly casual get together for working parents to get to know each other, get advice, and provide support. Feel free to come and go at any point during the hour.

Are you the parent of a child ages 3-10 who is not yet a good sleeper? Parents of babies and toddlers are given lots of advice to help them improve their child’s sleep, but parents of older children are often not sure what to do if their kids still don’t sleep well. Parents (with all of the right intentions, of course!) often do two things at bedtime that may make their children worse sleepers: allowing too many extra requests after the bedtime routine is over, and staying with a child until he or she falls completely asleep.

Increasing work/school/family life obligations and a culture of constant connection to mobile devices has led many Americans to a persistent state of sleep deprivation. Chronic sleep deprivation not only reduces productivity, it can impair mood, learning, memory, and physical performance. Medical disorders associated with lack of sleep or sleep disorders include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Attendees will leave with a basic understanding of 1) the science of sleep, 2) the effects of sleep on performance and health, and 3) best practices for optimal sleep.
