Thank you so much for your well wishes on the parenting class yesterday! Your prayers and thoughts were very much appreciated.
It all went well, barring some technical difficulties that are almost always present on the first day.
I didn’t have as many as I was expecting, but several e-mailed to let me know that something came up or they or their children were sick. I really wasn’t disappointed in that, though. I know that I can’t really control who comes and how many are there. But what I can control is my own preparation and making sure that is is relevent and helpful for the parents that are there.
And I think it was that.
I am really excited to see what is going to happen over the next six weeks as we focus on becoming better parents.
I was talking to someone in the class this morning about how I think that being a good parent is something that we all want to do, but it’s also something that we all struggle with at some time or in some way.
We also learned that a huge struggle for all of us is inconsistency. This is a big issue that we will be dealing with during the course of our time together. And hopefully, we will learn how to strike a good balance between being too permissive and too authoritarian. I think that we can learn to be more consistent with our disicpline.
Anyway, thank you all for your encouragement and your precious comments!!

I am so glad to hear that it went well yesterday. I’ll be interested in hearing updates on the class. I’m thinking I need to look into that book. I’ve hit a rough patch lately with my almost 3 year old and could def use some wisdom!
