more than ever, our society is obsessed with achievement and perfection. This is especially true when it comes to our children. It seems you can’t go anywhere without hearing about how someone’s child scored the winning goal or reading a bumper sticker that says, "My honor student loves me." So what’s a parent of a child who's not a star athlete or scholar to do? This long-overdue movement is allowing parents of "non-perfect" kids to come out of their messy closets and talk about the accomplishments of their children. With bumper magnets like "My Bipolar Kid Loves Me AND Hates Me," we're wearing our badges of imperfection and telling the world with humor and grace, "We're not always O.K., but that's O.K."_________________________________________________Location: Considine Professional Building(across from Akron Children's Hospital Main Entrance)Check signs for room locationPlease note - NO RSVP REQUIRED - See you there!For more information, please contact the Greater Akron Chapter at 330-543-3955,or email asagreaterakron@...tThis email is a resource.
