In Our Garden
Hi CPort Families!
My name is Erin, and I'm the CitySprouts Garden Coordinator at Cambridgeport. You may have seen me watering the Wooly Pockets on the playground. I am working to revitalize our "Woodland Garden" area, located in a very shady spot behind the school. Recently it gained some hostas, but I'd like to add more perennials (especially edible ones and/or natives) of various sizes to fill it out. If you or anyone you know has shade-loving perennials that need to be split, we can definitely use the extras to bring new life (hopefully including bird life) to that zone. If you think you have something to share, let me know!
Thanks so much,
Erin Taylor

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT )
NOW AVAILABLE for Families!
What is PCIT? Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a scientifically proven training program that works with caregivers to enhance parenting techniques for use with their children. PCIT is for children ages 2-7 with emotional and behavioral problems. The program places an emphasis on improving the quality of caregiver-child relationships and interactions.
PCIT may be helpful if your child or a child you know is having: trouble listening to adult requests or arguing with adults; difficulty taking turns, sitting still, or playing alone; temper tantrums, hitting and kicking, and destroying things.
How does PCIT work? Our counselors work with your family to enhance your existing parenting techniques and try out new ones. Caregivers are coached on: developing consistent positive time with your child; reducing negative parts of your relationship with your child; enhancing your discipline skills.
