Getting the word out can sometimes be as simple as posting in local online forums or community boards (like on social media) and reaching out to places families frequent, like libraries or schools. As for the frequency of meetings, twice a month often strikes a good balance between staying connected and not overwhelming everyone's schedule. Themes like work-life balance, child development stages, or even parent self-care are usually a hit. For handling sensitive topics, establishing ground rules and having a designated moderator helps maintain respect and safety in discussions. For icebreakers, consider activities that allow sharing without pressure, like having everyone share something they're proud of or a small parenting victory they've recently had. These can set a welcoming tone and foster connections among members.
