We all know that raising great kids is going to be an enormous challenge. Do we know how to do it? Do we even know what a 'great kid' looks like? Do we know what kind of adult a 'great kid' turns into? Henry Cloud and John Townsend are the teachers of the 3 part series we are doing for YM. Using their material, Raising Great Kids, we will explore a structured approach for parenting. Cloud and Townsend will provide a "road map for creating character in your children." We will follow the following schedule:
Part I - session 1 'Raising Children of Character'
Part II - review session 1, complete sessions 2 & 3 'Ingredients for Growth: Grace, Truth, and Time; Developing Connectedness, and Responsibility
Part II - sessions 4, 5 & 6 'Developing Reality and Competence; Developing Morality and Spirituality; When in Doubt, Connect!
The study consists of a video/teaching time. and discussion time. I will facilitate the teaching time and interject discussion on the material throughout. Unfortunately I will be unable to recreate our teaching and discussion time here on the blog. Additionally, due to copyright infringement, I will be unable to provide the material from Raising Great Kids also here on the blog. To supplement I will try to highlight the points we discussed from the material. If you are unable to attend the group I recommend reading the book Raising Great Kids by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. This should give you the most opportunity to get into this material.
I hope you are able to make it out to YM for this exciting material. I know we will discover so much and be better equipped parents when we finish it up! Thanks - Vanessa

Welcome to the Yielded Mom's Blog
Yielded Moms is a group designed to help us identify our roles and goals as parents. We will meet together monthly to explore God’s word, gain parenting wisdom and share and exchange personal trials and triumphs. We will pray for each other and we will glean from those who are wise and have already done the work of parenting according to God’s plan. Yielding isn’t a hesitation, but rather a deliberate attempt to slow and take survey of what’s around before proceeding. My hope that is what we will do here. By surveying parenting around us, we will be equipped to make decisions to merge onto the busy parenting highway or put on the brakes at a parenting trial and spend some time working there until we get a green light.
