Voices of the village

Wisdom is defined as the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight. We will utilize "Voices of the Village" to showcase wisdom from wise and wonderful parents.

“The goal of parenting is to get your desired results, so remember to utilize even the playtimes as your training ground, because as a parent you are called to train… and some of us believe we should ‘train up’.” - Alan Lane

Conversations on Parenting
During the month of October we hosted two Conversations on Parenting meetings. Both meetings turned out great and pushed us forward toward our concept of building a village.
As we continued our conversations on parenting, we covered topics on how your expectations of others for your children should match your efforts, as well as learning to forgive your parents for their shortcomings while raising you and learning from those experiences. As you can see, we always welcome the children to our meetings and have activities for them to enjoy.

One of our upcoming COP meetings will be hosted by Susanne Lababera in Boca Raton. If you are interested in attending please complete the registration form.
