Lesson 12

    This week in marriage and family we talked about divorce, blended families and remarriage in families.
    We talked about how for remarried families it takes usually around two years for normalcy for the children to get use to the new step parent and it is the birth parents duty to do the discipling, and the step parent is to become like a fantastic uncle or aunt. I found it really interesting and kind of a scary thought to think about what could happen (hopefully not, pray not) but you never know.

Lesson 11

    This week in class we read, watched and talked about parenting. It was really interesting to watch videos from Popkin. We also took a parenting style assessment, and I got authoritative (active) parent, which is the middle ground of too strict parents (authoritarian) and too relaxed and walked over like a doormat parent (permissive). It was a good refresher, and good to know that one day when I am a parent I will hopefully be a great parent!
