First Decisions
Course Description
Although this course is directed for parents with children from 8 to 11 years old, parents with younger or older children are encouraged to participate too. The topics dealt with in the course are useful for all ages.
In this age range, children feel comfortable in the environment in which they find themselves. As a consequence they find themselves making a wide range of personal decisions in many daily situations. To assist them in making good choices, children need to have a scale of values to use as a reference.
In this course, parents analyze the importance of living according to a scale of values and also learn how to transmit these same values to their children.
