Earn While You Learn
Educating clients and their families with valuable tools and skills to use in every day life; the parenting lessons also provide an opportunity for attendees to earn “Mommy Money and Daddy Dollars” which can then be used to purchase items like maternity clothes, baby clothes and furniture in our “Family Store.” Each client who attends the parenting lessons earns 3 to 4 “Mommy or Daddy Dollars” per lesson. The items in our “Family Store” are gently used to new.
We have several lessons that teach parents how to put the fun back into parenting by using love and logic. They learn how to prepare their children for the real world (and saving parent’s sanity) by showing children empathy and love, but also allowing them to experience the natural consequences of their actions.
