Faith in Parenting

Friends, we need a better strategy for getting our kids to cooperate at this time of year than singing Santa Claus is Coming to Town. (You know, “You’d better watch out, you’d better not pout…”).

What works to get your kids to cooperate from their hearts? Not with reluctance or an expression of exasperation.

Part of the family culture we want to cultivate is one in which each member of the family contributes to the good of the whole, where we’re helpful to one another out of love and willing service, not just because of the threat of consequences or the hope of rewards.

So how do we accomplish that? That’s our topic for this week’s Tuesdays at 2:00 call: Getting Kids to Cooperate with a Willing Spirit.

If you’re feeling a bit worn out at this point in the holiday season, if you’re tired of repeating yourself and wondering whether anyone is listening at all, this week’s topic is for you!

To join us, just call in to the conference line at 2:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday. It’s free to participate; the only cost to you is, potentially, a long distance telephone call.

Directions for Joining Us on the Weekly Support Call:

• Date: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
• Time: 2:00-2:35 PM (ET)
• Telephone Number: (218) 486-1300
• Access Code: 669379

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Blessings,

Jennifer
