Building Healthy Families – Have you ever noticed that it is hard to ignore the conversations of family members that are happening around you? Parents, take advantage of this reality by talking about the important things you want your kids to learn…and do it just barely within their hearing distance. The more positive comments they overhear you making about their school and their teachers, the more respectful they will be of their school and teachers. The more they hear you talking about your appreciation of your pastor, the more they will appreciate him. -Lutheran Family Service
