Turn the Parenting Podcasts into a Jewish Parenting Discussion Group

The Jewish Parenting Podcasts are a great way to bring an expert to your synagogue, school or parent group for free. Convene a group of interested parents, listen to a podcast segment together, then discuss! This page contains all of the resources you'll need to start your own parenting group.

If your group is based on either an age group or a topic, browse the topics tab on the home page for relevant podcasts from different experts.

Here are some resources to help you create a discussion group:
 
P's (Parent Support) in a Pod
This short article describes how one educator uses the podcasts as a basis for discussion groups.

Guidelines for facilitators
These guidelines will help the organizer to plan how, when and where to convene the group and who to include. Also included are ideas of how to effectively facilitate a discussion among parents.

General questions for discussion
Some podcasts have discussion guides specific to that podcast.
You can also use the blog posts as jumping off points for discussion. You can find them under "Discuss" on the experts' pages. Or, use these general questions with any podcast.

This is a great idea! I am planning to suggest it at my home congregation, where we are convening a group to look at family engagement this year.
