Growing U

Our church is offering these great classes on Sunday evenings and we decided to take the Value Packed Parenting class and tonight was the first. It's mainly a video class and tonight the man on the video (whose very funny and interesting to listen to) compared our children to wet cement and that we only have a very short time to get it right. I loved that analogy. I know with Noah the time has already gone by so fast and Ijust know that the rest of his time here in our home will be just as quick (to me anyway, to him it'll be like torture I'm sure!!!) I can't wait to see the rest of the series, they're going to discuss birth order differences, how discipline is not the same as punishment, how to talk to our kids so they'll listen and how to listen so they'll talk, improving childs self confidence and a session on anger. I'm very excited about it. He also said that our kids are bringing luggage with them to adulthood and we are the ones packing it for them. Should we pack it with fillers or value? I really enjoyed and can't wait to come back!! Also, while we're in this class the kiddies are in choir classes at church so it works out really well for us. It's a great time!!
