We hope you all enjoyed Monday night! A big thank you to April's small group for the amazing soup and bread dinner!
And we were able to hear some great advice and instruction from Jennifer Williams on finding balance between being an overly permissive parent or an overly controlling parent! The key to finding that balance is having wisdom which can only be found in Jesus. Thank you for taking the time to share with us, Jennifer!
Jennifer mentioned 3 books that would really help us all in raising our children. If you weren't at the meeting or weren't able to write them all down, they are:
And just a few tips she gave on raising our sweet children:
-Read to your child
-Teach your child to come to you when you call them
-Teach them to say "please" and "thank you"
-Watch your tone of voice when speaking to your child
-Make sure the tasks you give your child are able to be done at their age and make sure they heard you assign the task
-Don't reason with your child
-Love is spelled T-I-M-E and T-A-L-K
A child who is accepted, understood, and unconditionally loved will feel safe!!
Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying their time playing during our meeting:
We hope to see you all at our next meeting on October 25th!!
