Sue Riley To Lead
Discussion on Parenting
Parenting young children
...nobody said it was going to
be easy! If you’re the parent of
a young child, you probably
say to yourself at least once a
day “How come no one ever
told me about this?” Each new
experience, each new stage of
your child’s development
brings new dilemmas, new
judgement calls and of course,
lots of decision-mgiking. How
do parents make decisions? -
and more important, how do
parents teach their youngsters
to make decisions?
On October 29, at 7:30 p.m.
in Temple Beth El’s
Fellowship Hall, Ms. Sue
Riley, founder of Charlotte’s
Open Door School and author
of How to Generate Values in
Young Children wiU lead an in
formal discussion of the impor
tance of helping children to
make choices, the relationship
between their feelings of self
esteem and competency and
their opportunities to make
decisions, and how this affects
their self-image, behaviour.

Deciding which choices are
yours and which belong to
your children can be a valuable
exercise in defining those
values which you will pass
along to them.

ideas for learning more about
the world’s most important
job, raising children.
