Did you know that Empowering Dads has a weekly Monday evening Fathers Group meeting in both Montrose and Delta? Heres some more information about what goes on at those weekly meetings, from Coach Joe. In their very helpful book, The 7 Worst Things Parents Do, John and Linda Friel identify what they consider to be the ‘Rules of the parenting game.’ Here’s their list: >Small Changes Yield Big Results >The Opposite of Dysfunctional is Dysfunctional >Struggle is Good >You Can’t Change What You Aren’t Willing to Admit >Your Children Won’t Break If You Let Them Grow Up >A Few Rules, Enforced Consistently and Without Abuse, Are Superior to a Lot of Rules Enforced Inconsistently >Incompetent Children Cannot Have High Self-Esteem >Our Unhealthy Behaviors Always Have Reasons and Payoffs >Life Is Not a Test, It’s an Experiment The Monday Night Fathers Group in Montrose is currently discussing each of these ‘Rules’ and how they apply to the common parenting challenges we all face as fathers. If you’d like to learn more about the ‘Rules’ of good parenting, call 252-5000 and ask for an Empowering Dads Coach. If you are interested in the Delta weekly Monday night meeting, call 275-9619.
