SUMMARY:Parent Chat: The Poetry of Parenting 
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry of Parenting \nPoetry helps me express my feelings\, honoring and preserving my emotions. Indeed\, poetry provides me with comfort\, describing my world\, creating imagery and inspiration\, while guiding me in parenting. Regardless of length\, poetry can enable us to express ourselves in ways that resound across cultures. Some poems resonated deeply within me\, affecting how I raised my child or how I still aspire to parent my now-adult son. I will share one of my favorite Lebanese poems; I will also share one that I wrote a few decades ago which tells how me and my brother felt about the way our own parents raised us as two deaf children. Join me and let us share our respective parenting journeys.   \n  \nEllen A. Rhoades\, EdS\, LSLS Cert. AVT\, is a global consultant\, researcher\, lecturer\, grant writer\, and peer reviewer for professional journals. She founded a non-profit auditory-verbal center\, directed two auditory-verbal centers\, established four auditory-verbal/LSL programs\, co-edited four books\, and authored 100+ papers/book chapters. \nParent Chats are designed and intended for parents/family members; we kindly ask that only parent/family members attend.
