Sunday Mornings 9:00-10:00 a.m.Room 206

As any parent knows, simply telling kids to "do the right thing" isn't enough and 'making them mind' is often futile. Boundaries With Kids helps grown-ups teach children how to become stewards of their lives, behavior, and values by establishing healthy boundaries with them. As parents learn to set appropriate boundaries and consequences with children, the kids begin developing: ownership of their lives, discipline and self-control, respect for others, love and freedom.
