Module One: Life, Children and Relationships (Chapters 1 to 6)
Speaks to the relational components associated with healthy parenting. Because children tend to reflect the priorities and values of their home life, what is important to Mom and Dad will become important to their children, and will influence what each child becomes in the future.
Covers critical components of character training and explains the guiding principles for raising children who are kind, courteous, respectful, cooperative, confident, and certainly well mannered. No child arrives at this level of moral distinctiveness if the home life from which he or she comes is not already conversant with such virtue.
Course Fee includes: [1] Parenting from Tree of Life course book, [2] one year video subscription, [3] sticker salvation booklet “Breaking the Barrier”, [4] video recording of all sessions, and [5] slides for all sessions
