What does it look like practically to create a culture in the home where children know they are enjoyed? What are ways to offer age-appropriate correction with care?

To learn and discuss these questions and more, our Young Adult Ministry & Preschool Ministry is partnering together to offer one-time book discussion groups using The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids by Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey.

You can sign up and choose one of the following dates to attend. For the discussion, read or listen (the book is available on Audible) to the book (or as much as you're able to get through) and come ready to discuss with other Brook Hills preschool parents. A week before the discussion, we'll send a reminder email with all the details.
