Are you committed to raising your child, in love? Most parents quickly say “Yes!” But what does it mean to raise a child in love? In earlier dispensations, this meant maintaining parental power and control through the use of fear tactics such as shame or physical pain. Today, it is abundantly clear that such “parenting” results in trauma—for children and parents. In this offering we will explore parenting dynamics and strategies grounded in theological and developmental thought that is intentionally non-dominion and non-violent. We will then brainstorm, as a group, the complexity and goodness of love as our guiding light.

We are happy to arrange childcare for this event, with at least three day's notice. You can request childcare while registering.
