I've done some investigating on our next topic/study for the group. I'd like to recommend that we do the following on parenting. It is six sessions. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know that books are not the best for our group! I believe this is a one time charge that you can download and go through some questions and Bible verses as a couple then take to the group to discuss.
What do you think?

As parents, our most difficult task is where to draw the line. Nothing causes more conflict in our souls than how to deal with this sticky problem. To help parents discuss this, we've developed a six-session course on the subject, covering such topics as using natural consequences to discipline, how to have realistic expectations, how to teach a good work ethic, how to stop the whining, how to get our kids to do chores, and how to set an example for our future teens.
Session 1The Ground Rules of Discipline
It's important for parents to allow children to experience the natural consequences of their choices.
Great Expectations
How to raise or lower the bars we set for our children.
Responsibility Super Models

Replace Whining with Respect
How can we teach our children to obey while still leaving room for communication?
Teaching Responsibility Doesn't Have to Be a Chore
The value of teaching our children to work.
Mentoring Youngsters Toward Adolescence

Looks like a great study! Something I think we will all be able to get something from and use in our everyday life!! :) Is the $30 per couple??? That seems kinda steep! Or is it $30 for us all to split?
ReplyDeleteLove the idea! Count us in!
ReplyDeleteIts $30 for the study, not per couple. It's from a lifegroup website. It appears you get the study in Microsoft Word and are allowed to distribute amongst your personal life group without copyright issues.
ReplyDeleteI did a little more research. For $30 we get to back 1,000 copies. Should be enough!

"make" 1,000 copies......not back 1,000!
