Time Out for Moms and Dads
Fellowship for Parents of Young Children
Have you ever wished your kids came with instructions?
Have you ever questioned if you are doing the right thing as a parent?
Come join
Time Out for Moms & Dads
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month downstairs in the annex from 10:00 -11:30 am.
We are beginning our first book study Parenting Young Children: Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) of Children Under Six. The purpose of this book is to provide:
· A look at the long term goals of parenting
· Information on how young children think, feel, and act
· Skills that can increase your enjoyment and effectiveness as a parent
· Skills that can develop your child’s self-esteem and confidence
· Support for yourself as a parent and as a person (one step already taken is attending this group)
· Effective ways to teach cooperation and discipline
This may sound like a serious undertaking but our goal is to remember that life is more fun with a good sense of humor and lightheartedness. Come join our group, take a breather, have a cup of coffee with new friends and share what we have learned on our parenting journeys thus far and what we hope to learn for the future. Remember if God brings us to it, God will bring us through it.
Contact Nancy Harris (contact info below) to order a book, $11.55 (free shipping). You do not have to buy the book to participate in the group. The plan is to read aloud from the book during each meeting and then discuss. It's just that simple. Of course this is the plan, but the group has the ability to go with the flow as needed by our members.
Childcare is available in the DUMC nursery. This is time for you to be child-free with other parents. You must contact Nancy Harris with your childcare needs prior to the gathering time to be sure that we have the proper adult to child ratio. You may contact Nancy by email at NancyHarris214@gmail.com, or call/text her at 240-372-0230.
