Thanks for coming along to the Lakeshore Church Parenting Seminar on Wednesday night! Carolyn Russell certainly gave us plenty of helpful thoughts, encouraging us to change our thinking from urgent, which stimulates our adrenalin unnecessarily, to taking a more relaxed approach. I hope that those of you who attended found it helpful and you went home encouraged as you continue on the wonderful adventure of parenting.
One thing Carolyn mentioned as a crucial factor in parenting is getting support. As a church we have opportunities for you to connect with other parents and for children and youth to connect with other kids their age. Every Sunday we have a family service with a children’s program for kids of every age. During school terms we have a weekly Friday night youth group for teens and a Friday morning playgroup for parents and preschoolers. Please check out our website for more details. Please feel welcome to come along anytime.
Below is a link to the talk if you want to listen to it again, or share it with others. We’ve also included some of the resources Carolyn mentioned as well as her slides.
