Hi Parents,
So how’s your week? Have you had enough time to attend to what is important, instead of what is urgent? Things like relationship, planning, professional development, and even exercise are all important, but not urgent. It’s so easy to put these aside and attend to the urgent but unimportant things that consume us.
One of my favorite books in management is ” Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. If you liked what I presented in class on time management, you will be inspired by what Covey has to say in the book.
This week I will be available again from 1-2pm at the John Sung Building, answering some of the questions you may have. Last week six parents came, and I was very encouraged by the feedback that they gave me. One parent related how her relationship with her daughter has greatly improved due to the acceptance she has demonstrated in their interactions. Another parent shared the struggles that she has with herself in applying the principles. I was greatly moved by their sincerity and effort, and I know these parents will make a difference in their children’s lives.
I also wanted to share a great news with you! A kind and generous friend ( who wants to remain anonymous) has designed and hosted a website for me and you. I’m so thankful and excited! In the very near future, we will have a forum to exchange ideas on parenting, and it will be a great tool for me to serve the parents. You will be contacted when everything is set to go in the next few weeks. Praise God!
There’s only four classes left, and I would like to devote them all on the issues of discipline. If you have any particular questions you wanted to ask on this topic, you can write them on a piece of paper and give to me at the end of class. I’ll try to address them in the next class if time allows. Thanks.
