Oct. 9 – Growing a Kind and Thoughtful Child
Today’s children live in a world where they are bombarded with negative messages, many of which devalue respect for others.  To help children grow into responsible, caring adults, parents must be intentional in teaching children how to treat others with compassion, respect and thoughtfulness.  Children are taught responsibility when they help with chores at home.   But, volunteering together strengthens family bonds, enhances communication, and sends a message to your children that you’re a team!  Learn ideas and opportunities for how kids can serve at home and how your family can serve in our community.

Coming up!
Nov 13 – Have an Attitude of Gratitude

POWER HOURS are FREE to the community.   Water and Light Snacks Provided.   (We’ll send you home with additional resources on each particular parenting topic, too.)

Following each Power Hour, there will be FREE 30-minute Parent Coaching Sessions from 7:45-8:45 pm.   This Free Parent Coaching is ONLY available to parents who also attend that evening’s Power Hour from 6:30 – 7:30pm.    Click HERE to reserve your 30 minute coaching session for October 9th!
