If you answered yes to any of these questions, congratulations – you’re one of millions of struggling parents going through the exact same thing!!

Single parent Abby Golman is also in this elite group of struggling parents, and through trial and error she has come up with some quick, easy, and surprisingly long-lasting solutions to the chaos. Go from cluttered chaos to peacefully productive.

The best way to protect children from abuse is having positive, open communication with them on an ongoing basis starting when they are young.

Ellen White, from the YMCA, will speak to us about protecting our children.

FAMILY CONNECTION TIME CHALLENGE

This challenge starts Friday, 5/22 and goes through Monday 5/25.
It is super EASY to enter and you could WIN A GREAT PRIZE FOR YOUR FAMILY!

TWO SIMPLE STEPS:
Step 1.
SNAP A PIC OF YOUR FAMILY DOING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Playing a Board Game TOGETHER.
2. Picnic-ing TOGETHER. (indoor or outdoor)
3. Volunteering TOGETHER.
4. Playing Outside TOGETHER.
5. Baking/Cooking TOGETHER.
6. Doing something special  for MEMORIAL DAY TOGETHER!

Step 2.
Post your PIC on This Side UP! Family’s Facebook page or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org  BY MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY, 5/25.

WHY??!!!
1.YOU COULD WIN.  All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket valued at $50  (movie tickets, pizza gift card, board game, and more)!
2.THE BIG WHY.  Because Family Time is so important and has been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being.   Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up! That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child! It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection!  And the results are trajectory-changing, for family and community strengthening!

Thank you for participating in this purposeful challenge to increase FAMILY TIME in your home and our community!!

(Winner announced 5/28!)
