“Child Discipline – Age and Stages,” a workshop for parents of all-aged children, will be presented at EUM Worship Center Cafe on Saturday, October 12 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Just as certain discipline styles and techniques do not fit every situation, so the age of the child bears significantly upon parental expectations of behavior.
An understanding of normal child development is critical to parents who see discipline as training opportunities rather than simply punishment. Age ranges from toddlerhood through high school will be discussed for the usual physical, mental and emotional potential of our children.
The workshop is written and presented by Beverly Hughes, BA. “I have taught parenting skills through Children's Services, Juvenile Court, to pregnant teens through the schools, and now in churches. Families regularly receive competing messages about appropriate discipline. Their understanding of their own children’s ages and stages of life will offer needed direction and support.”
The workshop is free of charge and childcare is available. Registration is required for both. Contact Janie Detling, Support Ministry Coordinator, at EUM Church at 937.548.3211 and check out www.eumchurch.org.
