PARENTING 2010 WORKSHOP OFFERED: WHOSE HOMEWORK IS IT ANYWAY?

How do parents encourage and support their children when it comes to homework and not do the work for them? Dr. Judith Kramer, Ph.D., from Colts Neck Consulting Group, will be at the Colts Neck Reformed Church in our brick Education Building, on Wednesday,… Nov. 10th, from 7:30—9:00 PM to answer the question “Whose Homework Is It Anyway?” Everyone wants their kids to do well, but how do you avoid rescuing them when you should be just monitoring their work. Parents of any age child would benefit from this presentation.

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to the church office (732-462-4555).
