 g></p>\n<p><strong><br />Meet our panelists:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><stro
 ng>Christine</strong> - I am the mother of 10 children ages 5-27. We have 
 homeschooled all along with the exception of a couple years when some of t
 he children went to Christian schools. I love to say yes\, but when I say 
 no\, it&rsquo\;s no.</li>\n<li><strong>Heather</strong> - I am the mother 
 of two children-aged 10 and 12. My husband and I believe in setting expect
 ations for our kids\, teaching them about responsibility\, appreciating th
 e value of a dollar\, respecting one another\, avoiding unnecessary drama\
 , and teaching them about kindness and inclusivity.</li>\n<li><strong>Caro
 lina</strong> -I am the mother of 3 girls and bonus mom to another one\, r
 anging from ages 4-19. My specialty as a parent is talking about feelings 
 and difficult situations - I never shy away from a difficult conversation 
 (I actually enjoy them! Does that make me weird? lol). I can be a fun mom 
 and I love to play! But I'm also quite firm in the rules and boundaries we
  have for our home.</li>\n<li><strong> Cameron</strong> - I am a 39-year o
 ld father of four. Meghan\, is my partner-in-crime and much better half\, 
 we&rsquo\;ve been together for 20 years and we have been in Barrie for aro
 und 2 years. Before that\, we were in Vancouver for a decade\, and Newmark
 et area before that. We have four kids between the ages of 3-9.</li>\n</ul
 >\n<p><strong>Meet our moderator:</strong></p>\n<p>Our moderator Amber Bec
 kett is lead instructor at The Hello Code\, professional talker-to-strange
 rs\, Area Director for Toastmasters and an exceptional hugger. Amber belie
 ves social disconnection is the biggest threat to our society and is not a
 fraid to proclaim it. Leveraging her degree in science and past lives as a
  911 call-taker\, a facilitator for the Simcoe County District School Boar
 d\, and a conversation cafe host in Japan\, she has a natural way of askin
 g questions and putting the people around her at ease. She recommends we a
 ll spend more time in conversation\, connecting\, and listening to each ot
 her&rsquo\;s stories.</p>\n<p></p>\nhttps://barrielibrary.libnet.info/even
