The New Rainier Vista Family Support Group is hosting a panel discussion, “How to talk with NRV community kids when there’s an issue” on Friday, May 1, 2009, from 6:00pm – 7:30pm at the Neighborhood House Paul Allen Room. This discussion will include:

• Panel comments from different ethnic/linguistic groups – Ethiopian; Somali; Vietnamese; Chinese and mainstream American
• Ways to communicate with kids from different cultures
• Ideas and understandings of what each culture expects when a child or adolescent misbehaves
• Ways to compliment kids from different ethnic backgrounds when you see and appreciate positive behavior

All community members are welcome! Some activities for children will be available. If your child comes with you, please bring a favorite quiet activity (e.g. a book) for your child.

For more information please contact Seble Mesfin, Group Leader at “seb6mike (at) yahoo (dot) com” or Naomi Chang, Community Builder, at “nchang (at) seattlehousing (dot) org“.
