Parenting Journey
Settle in at Reunion Springs

17.  Show our values.  We should talk about what is important to our families.  We should tell stories and share our values.  We show our values by dedicating ourselves to things we care about.  We can beautify the neighborhood, help others, or share goodness.  We should find a project that we care about as a family and spend time making our neighborhood a better place.

18.  Make your community child-friendly.  We can help teachers and others appreciate and support our children.  We can work with neighbors, churches, businesses and schools to provide good experiences for children.

19.  Enjoy time together.  We should recognize the good things our children do.  We can learn together, talk together, laugh together, and have fun together even when we hit a bump in the road or run into a detour.  There is no journey like parenting!
