Our Lena Pope team visited Quince Riverside for DFW Restaurant Week for Fancy Hour and for lunch. We also visited with Tyrie Johnson, Restaurant Manager and Lena Pope Early Learning Center (ELC) Dad. Tell us about participating in DFW Restaurant Week as both a restaurant manager and an ELC Dad. "I'm proud to say I'm a Lena Pope Dad. My kids have been at Lena Pope Early Learning Center for their whole early childhood and we've had a great experience. Being able to participate in DFW Restaurant Week has been a win-win and great opportunity for people to learn about Quince and what we have to offer and we're also able to give back to Lena Pope and support their work with youth of all ages. After learning about DFW Restaurant Week and how it works our staff have had a lot of pride talking with customers about that and offering our specially curated Restaurant Week menu." What would you say to someone considering supporting Lena Pope? "Supporting Lena Pope would be the best decision you'd make. Your support is bigger than just your family. It supports the families that encompass the community. I think it's important to be part of something bigger than yourself." There's still time to celebrate DFW Restaurant Week at Quince and other participating restaurants through Monday! https://hubs.ly/Q02N9Pb80

Kids are naturally curious about the world around them. There is an appropriate level of risk-taking behavior and curiosity that is good for children and adolescents. But how do you know when behaviors are too risky, or the curiosity is no longer age appropriate? We talked with Shana Hazzard, LCSW-S, Director of Counseling and Substance Use Services about how caregivers can navigate these kinds of issues with young kids or teenagers.
