At Nemours, we’ve made a promise to care for all children as if they were our own. This includes not just clinical care, but any guidance we can provide in growing great kids.
Nemours pediatric experts share their knowledge at parent seminars featuring presentations filled with great information, parenting tips and proven techniques. Then they will take time to answer your questions based on that evening’s selected topic.
For more information about our upcoming parenting seminars, please email seminars@nemours.org.
In order for you and the other participants to be able to listen and absorb all the great information, we have made these seminars for adults only; however, there are times when child care is provided. Please check details for each individual seminar to see if there is child care available.
When our parent seminars are held on the grounds of Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, they are free. When they are held at the Delaware Children’s Museum, they are included with museum admission. Parking is plentiful and free at both locations.
No, we only ask for this information to ensure there is a seat available with our limited space. We ask for email contact information so that we may confirm your registration and inform you if there is a need to cancel.
You will not receive Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s) for participating in the seminar. This does not fulfill any court-mandated parenting classes.
The easiest and most direct way to contact us is via email at seminars@nemours.org. In the subject line, please put the
seminar you are referencing (for example, discipline seminar
on October 6) and then in the body of the email provide your name
and that you are canceling.
Please send an email to seminars@nemours.org. In the subject line, include the seminar you are referencing (for example, discipline seminar on October 6) and then in the body of the email provide your name as well as what changes you are requesting.

Get driving directions to Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Parking is also free.
