“Making the Most of the Elementary Years” Roc & Bev Bottomly.
The elementary years are crucial, but children often get “lost” between the high maintenance toddler years and the turbulent teens. As a parent, how do you make the most of this vital period? Come join us and we’ll think together. Fun, discipline, chores, staying connected, doing school, talking “God.” Bring your “best practices,” and we’ll share some of ours... along with what our grown kids have told us we should have done!
“Building a Firm Foundation – the Preschool Years”Mike & Christy Adel.
The early childhood years are the formative years of a child’s life – when their personalities, habits, and their beliefs about themselves, God, and the world around them are formed and shaped. Fortunately, parents are the most influential force in a child’s life during this critical time – whether it feels like it or not!Through teaching, sharing of our successes & failures, group discussion and Q&A - our goal is to encourage and equip parents with practical ways to lay a firm foundation for their children – body, soul, and spirit – that will help ensure a healthy, God-centered outlook on life and success in the turbulent years ahead.Come join us!
"Keeping the Boat Afloat in the Turbulent Teens:" Dr. Craig and Kayla Evans.
The teen years are the last crucial lap of our parenting. We all need to have a boost in confidence, a strengthened resolve, and a steady rudder to navigate these years. Join us as we discuss relationship building, healthy boundaries/consequences, and trusting God with our children.
