9-Week Parenting on Purpose Video Series by Dr. Bob Barnes
We all know that children don’t come with instruction manuals, and with today’s barrage of seemingly opposing information and uncharted societal issues, parenting can seem overwhelming. The 9-week Parenting on Purpose Video Series seeks to help parents make sense of all the information, through proven and practical parenting solutions created by Dr. Bob Barnes. Dr. Barnes has a doctorate in counseling and received his education at Maryville College and Florida Atlantic University and he presents seminars and conferences on Parenting and Marriage throughout North America.

Parenting on Purpose Series

So far, the Parenting on Purpose series has given me great insight on what true parenting is. I look forward to the learning and conversations each week, and hope to be able to host both "Conversations on Parenting" and "Parenting on Purpose" very soon.

Signs of Anxiety Are Different in Boys — Learn What to Look Out For
The most critical thing for you to know as a parent if your child shows anxiety, is that you are a huge part of the solution. They look to you for calm and confidence, and you can work with them on learning and using tricks to manage the anxiety (talking about it, using deep breaths to help the body, etc.). If you feel like your son’s anxiety is really getting in the way of his life, make an appointment to see a a child therapist trained in anxiety.

Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions
Cleft Of The Rock is committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement as parents into our already jam-packed schedules. From hour-long commutes, to our kids’ extra-curricular activities, to overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water much less commit to getting somewhere, even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed and better equipped to parent deliberately.
We have good news! We’re introducing our Parenting On Purpose Support sessions (POPS), every Tuesday evening. The great news is you can dial in or join by Video chat from wherever you are! Jump in to let off steam, chime in, or just listen to the topic of the week...whatever you need.
POP or COP Alumni, stay tuned for details on how to join in!

Conversation on Parenting Highlight
On April 13th we hosted a COP. We mostly discussed our children's education and whose responsibility it is. After much discussion, we concluded that it is the parent's responsibility to ensure that your child is educated and formal schools are in place to support parents and add value. In this day and age society places too much expectation on the school system to educate our children. We even place the blame on others when our children fall short, but have you stopped to think how much effort and time are you investing into your child's education at home? Are you helping with more than just homework assignments, if that? Are you challenging your child to be better? Do you even know your child's teacher?

Helping doesn't have to be complicated. Just use what you know how to do to help. That's called volunteering! We are in need of new volunteers and would greatly appreciate your time, in any way that you can contribute. If you have teenagers and they need hours for school, any time they volunteer with us can count towards their goal. If you would like to volunteer, simply click on the link below to fill out the form and we will contact you:
