🌿 Class Description

Practical Parenting is a 4-week course designed for parents of children ages 3–12, providing biblically based, practical tools to help build confidence, nurture loving relationships, and create peaceful homes.

The Schaffners will draw from the best of several respected parenting curriculums, including Love & Logic® and Parenting on Purpose, weaving in Biblical principles and real-life applications. Parents will be encouraged to practice techniques between sessions and share successes and challenges each week.
