It’s True!
Parenting is the most difficult, most rewarding job we will ever handle.
And it comes without a manual!
That’s why THE PARENT SCHOOL.
Simply put, THE PARENT SCHOOL is exactly that – a school for parents.
There are no rulers, calculators or desks in a row. No school bell will ring, and there is no Principal.
This is a school that is based on the latest research in parenting and child development, coupled with actual, real-life experience.
The classes are intentionally small, informal and relaxed, with mixed-media presentations, and plenty of opportunities to ask, and share.
THE PARENT SCHOOL is designed to help parents develop a consistent approach to parenting issues throughout the stages of development their children will experience. A Parenting philosophy is established – a philosophy that provides guidance through the always interesting, sometimes chaotic years of childhood.
Each child is whole – and each parent is whole.
The whole being is comprised of four aspects – the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual development – PIES..
THE PARENT SCHOOL helps parents create an intentional approach to guiding all four aspects of their children’s development. Based on current research and years of experience, parents will establish a parenting philosophy, or foundation, understand the age-specific dimensions of their children, explore values and morals and ways to model them, determining parenting goals and choosing the appropriate tools to achieve those goals, develop a strong “parenting team” (couples, grandparents, friends, etc.), and learn practical skills to successfully navigate the daily parenting challenges.
The goal of THE PARENT SCHOOL is to help parents raise children who are balanced in the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual (PIES) aspects of life; who know right from wrong and choose the right; who make choices that reflect their highest ability; who are confident in their living and compassionate toward others.
