Six A’s of Positive Parenting

Hi Parents,

How is everyone doing? Hope you’re not too upset about this wet and humid weather that we’ve been having! There is storm in the forecast for this evening, but the sun will eventually peek out later this week!

We’ve finally completed the foundation of the house, working hard for the past eight weeks! Starting next week, we’ll be hammering the roof – Accountability and Authority. Remember a house is as good as its foundation, as it is portrayed in Luke 6:48: “…like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.”

With LOVE we build a strong foundation for our family, withstanding the test of worldly values, temptations, and trials. LOVE starts with Acceptance that is the builder of security and self-worth, then upon it Appreciation, the key to feeling significant. Affection nourishes the soul and Availability offers T-I-M-E as an ingredient of love. But a house is not a home without the roof, so in the next few weeks we’ll learn how to put a firm, sturdy roof together. With a strong foundation supporting the roof, this house is completed. 

We had a meeting with some deacons last sunday, brainstorming ideas how to support our parents in the pursuit of a healthy family on a continuous basis. Some ideas were considered, and we’ll finalize them before the end of the course. In the meantime, some are concerned that few people have had the chance to ask questions during class time. So I am offering the next two sundays after church, at 1-2 in the afternoon, to meet with parents at the John Sung Building ( across the bridge where the English congregation meets) to answer some questions that you may have concerning parenting. Please pass the word around, and attend if you so please.

I also would encourage you to bring your name tag to class, if your fellowship already has one for you. In this way, we can all get to know each other better. I do apologize that I haven’t been able to greet everyone individually. Being such a visual learner, a name tag will help me associate names with faces and to eventually get to know you personally. Thanks for your consideration.
