I joined the then Parenting class, about nine years ago. The lessons taught me how to adapt to changes in society as it relates to children’s behavior. During this time, we were raising a teenager and a “tween”. It was always a challenge dealing with the everyday issues. The lessons I learned helped me get through those situations. I encouraged my wife to join the ministry and together we have strived and achieved great success with our children. I know parenting will never end as we will always be mom and dad to our children. But this class helped us in many ways and I am proud to say we are parents of a current graduate student and future doctor, and a rising high school sophomore, ROTC Cadet, and football player who plans on becoming an architect. The ministry improved our relationship with our children. They are very comfortable with discussing any issues with us and are receptive to feedback both positive and negative. We are extremely grateful for all this ministry has done for us and look forward to continuing our parenting education.
