Hi Parents,
Hope you’re having a good week so far!
Six weeks have gone by since the first day of Sunday School, and I have enjoyed every moment I had with all of you. I appreciate your enthusiasm, participation, and encouragement. I hope you’re enjoying the class as much as I do.
You all know that public schools are having the high-stake TAKS test this coming week. I’m sure your child’s teachers have been talking to you about getting him ready. If your child is stressed out about this coming test, make sure you assure him/her that trying his/her best is all you expected. This will be a good time for you to apply what you’ve learned in this class.
The book I introduced last week is ” The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women” by Gary & Barbara Rosberg. I love this book because it provides both a man’s point of view as well as a woman’s on some popular topics.
This coming sunday school we’ll be discussing effective communication skills with our children. Good communication skills all boil down to good listening skills, a skill that I’ll never arrive. Due to time constraint, we’ll focus on one area: how to show empathy and understanding to our children so they will continue talking to you. How to talk so they will listen and how to listen so they will talk are important lessons in communication. I look forward to an interactive lesson with you!
