Parenting - The Early Years - Coming Fall 2008
Open to all parents. Join Pastor Pat Binish as he facilitates this six-session DVD series, called Parenting: The Early Years. This study goes deeper than any technique of just getting kids to eat their broccoli and clean their room. It takes a Biblical approach into the traits parents want their children to have and what traits they want their children to see modeled in them.

Cameras go into the homes of 20 families and capture real-life parenting moments. Some of these are funny moments and some are just completely honest moments that every parent can relate to. This study looks at what itís like for married, single and blended families. Purchase of the parenting workbook is required.
