Larry will discuss how to become an “Emotional Mentor,” and how to provide your children with a roadmap on their journey through life. Larry Agresto can be heard on WSMN 1590, Nashua’s news and talk radio station, during his weekly show “Parenting Talk Radio” (Tuesdays, 10-11am). Larry Agresto was a single father for ten years before he remarried in 2004. On May 20, 1995, Larry became a single father literally overnight. His wife Jody and the mother of his two daughter’s Lauren age 12 and Julia age 8, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday night and pronounced dead on Saturday morning. A Father’s New Beginning was written to provide support, guidance and inspiration for fathers, single dads and single parents. The book takes you on a heartfelt journey and learning experience about how Larry made a difference in the lives of his two daughters.
Babysitting will be available. We will serve a light dinner to the children.
