Parenting Your Elementary-Age Child

New this Fall! A parent only class for families with children ages 6-11.

The spotlight will be “raising relational kids in a screen-driven world” with Growing Up Social!  We will discuss the necessary tools to: “Equip your child to be relationally rich in a digital world, replace mindless screen time with meaningful family time, establish simple boundaries that make a huge difference, discover what’s working for families that have become screen savvy, and learn healthy ways to occupy your child while you get things done!”

Discussion group will be offered Wednesday, November 2, 9, 16, and 30 from 1-2 pm at Raven Stream Elementary.  Join us in the conference room!  The cost is $20.  Call 952-758-1732 to register.

“Now is the time to equip your child to live with screen time, not for screen time.”
