Workshop for Parents 

Series Two: The Four Stages follows the first workshop: Family Life Education. Virtues can be acquired according to the developmental capacity of a child. Each stage provides building blocks in maturity preparing the child for the next stages. The goal of this education is happiness and maturity. Each session of this series investigates one of the stages.

We will present the virtues for the stage and practical means to engender the virtue in the child. Parents can look at how they are living the virtue and how they are educating it to their children. We will present practical means of establishing goals, objectives and tasks in everyday life to aid in this process. We will consider some of the developmental factors for the stage such as emotional and intellectual capacity as well as social and learning skills.
