Every last Saturday of the month, a parent group meets at the EDUCO Zlín z. s. early childhood intervention center. A self-help group allows parents to share their experiences, joys and concerns and to talk about their children in a confidential environment. It is a self-help group for parents of children with specific needs who are current or former EDUCO ECI clients. Parents also enrich each other with their own tools, approaches and advice on how to facilitate children’s pre-school and school preparation, with what and how to have fun, how to best develop communication and speech. Moms also like to show off their hand-made worksheets. For parents, such meetings bring new perspectives on solving problems and a more optimistic view of the world. The coordinator of the meeting is one of the mothers. The early intervention center EDUCO Zlín z. s. provides spaces for the parent group and also, by agreement, organizes meetings with experts on selected topics for the group of parents.
