PARENTING CLASSES
The Well-Behaved Child
The Well-Behaved Child is our most popular and most requested class. This eight-week series focuses on "discipling" children to grow in humility and learn to serve others rather than be self serving. Specific topics include tantrums, homework motivation, potty training, bedtime struggles, picky eaters, disrespectful attitudes, and establishing successful routines. This series is perfect for both parents and teachers in school and church settings.
Week 1: "The Parent-Centered Home"
Week 2: "Why Children Misbehave"
Week 3: "Leadership Parenting"
Week 4: "How to be a Big Fat Meanie"
Week 5: "Parent Babble"
Week 6: "Fill your Toolbox"
Week 7: "From the Bottle to Behind the Wheel"
Week 8: "Family FIRST"
Abbreviated versions of this series are available to meet your facility's needs. To host this series at your church, or to request individual parts of this series for your MOPs or small group, contact us today!
Child Safety from Crib to College
We can't be with our children at all times, but we still must do our best to protect them. So what are some good measures to take? What's overkill? This class will present the sobering facts about predators and how we, as parents, can safeguard our children-and how we can teach them to protect themselves.
Child Abuse Prevention Policy Seminars (CAPPS) Staff Training
In addition to parenting classes, we are also able to provide bi-annual Child Abuse Prevention Seminars for children's ministry leaders, teachers, nursery volunteers, youth leaders, and anyone at your church who works with children. Our training session is in compliance with the recommendation of the Southern Mutual Church Insurance Company, which provides insurance policies to many churches across South Carolina.
We also provide specialized training for "Junior Leaders" (pre-teens and youth members who want to assist in ministering to children).
STACEY‘S TESTIMONY
I was blessed to have grown up in a Christian home, and I accepted Christ as my personal Savior at a very young age. I grew up hearing stories of people in my life who felt "called" to serve in different areas, and I was taught to serve others with a healthy dose of southern hospitality! But I never understood the meaning of a true calling-until I got mine.
As the child of a teacher and child center owner, I always dreamed of standing before my own classroom filled with happy children. But a few years ago, it became clear to me that God was calling me to teach parents instead-with the goal of raising a generation of humble, God-fearing, well-behaved children. While my plan was to teach children (which I did for more than a decade), His plan includes helping parents to strengthen their homes by becoming true leaders. I consider my service a joy and an honor!
"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone." Ephesians 1:11-12 (from the Message)
